Circle

Grades K–5

Definition

A circle is a round shape where every point on the edge is the same distance from the center. That distance is called the radius.

Imagine tying a string to a pencil and holding the other end in place. If you draw while keeping the string tight, you trace a perfect circle.

Examples

  • A clock face is a circle.
  • A pizza is shaped like a circle.
  • A wheel is a circle.
