Area and circumference of real life famous circles

A range of questions with answers asking the students to find the area and circumference of various real life circles. Each one has a brief piece of information with it ( it is from wikipedia so do let me know if it isn't correct).<br /> Last two questions should challenge the more able students.<br /> Overall I've had great feedback from the students, let me know what you think. Thanks.

I tend to print off slide 5 and ask the students to fill that in. <br /> This lesson follows on from y=mx+c and introduces curved graphs to them. <br /> The actual activity has been altered from another TES user (prhodes), but I have changed it slightly and created the ppt by myself.<br /> If you download and use, please do review. Many thanks.
