Circle Theorems Investigation
Explore and understand circle theorems by investigating angles on the same arc from a chord, angle at the centre, and how it relates to the angle at the arc. Follow step-by-step visual instructions to compare angles, cut them out, and discover the relationship between angles in circles.

Mark another point and repeat the process. the circle. Shade in both angles just created on
Cut out the angles and compare them to each other. Shade in both angles just created on the circle. Compare them with others of the same colour card.
Cut out the angles and compare them to each other. Compare them with others of the same colour card. Now join the centre of the circle to both ends of the chord.
Now join the centre of the circle to both ends of the chord. Shade in the angle then cut it out.
Will the two smaller angles fit in the remaining gap? Shade in the angle then cut it out.
This demonstrates two circle theorems. Angles on the same arc from a chord are equal. Angle at the centre is twice the angle at the arc when drawn from the same chord.

Note to Teacher Use different coloured card for each lettered resource - this will make it easier for the pupils to compare results.
