Some of my students find it difficult to use a pair of compasses. This worksheet is designed for children to practice their pair of compasses and at the same time, gives them the freedom to create their own pattern using different sizes of circles. I have attached few examples to give you an idea how to use this worksheet. Hope you find them helpful.

We made a start at drawing circles today, just to get used to how compasses work. While some children quickly got the hang of it, most of my SEN children struggled to produce one perfect circle. This is exactly what I want as the next step for those children as they will be able to experience success at this activity whereas they will not be able to produce the complex, overlapping multi-circle constructions that the most able will be working on. Personally, I think this is great!

I have been moved to write a review for the first time ever by Bruce Grey&#39;s hilarious comment and rating. Thanks, this will provide excellent differentiated work for those children who are struggling a little with the something &#39;a bit more structured&#39; that I have prepared and aren&#39;t bisecting angles or constructing perpendicular lines. Circles placed in such a way as to create caterpillars, fish etc don&#39;t seem random to me either.

I think this is a great idea, thank-you. As you say, it&#39;s designed to help pupils to get better at using compasses and in an enjoyable way. I&#39;m wondering if Bruce Gray even looked at the work of the children. They certainly did not just go and &quot;draw random circles&quot;. I&#39;m planning a maths/art activity involving circles and angles and this will be a great first step.
