Here’s a fun review for graphing circles… Battleship – Teacher vs Students. Instead of calling out a point, the teacher will give the equation of a bomb (circle) that was dropped. Anything inside or tangent to the circle is sunk. Equations can be given in standard or general form. This resource includes: •3 versions of Battleship game •Student graph paper and worksheet •Ideas for closing/extending the activity

Use this notes page to introduce the equation of circle. Students will identify the center and radius from standard form, graph circles, and write standard equation of circles given center and radius. This resource includes: •Student notes •Answer sheet

This activity will help students see patterns in the standard form equation of a circle. Students will look at an equation and its graph to determine the center and radius of the circle. The students will use inductive reasoning to conclude what h, k, and r represent in the standard form of a circle. (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^ 2 = r^ 2 This resource includes: •Student worksheet •12 graphs of circles with the equation •Answer key Use this as a quick introduction and then follow up with: Circles on the
