Proving Circle Theorems - Angle in a Semicircle WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 8-9
Prerequisite knowledge: Apply the circle theorem 'Angles in a Semicircle'
Learning Objective: Apply and prove the standard circle theorems concerning angles, radii, tangents and chords, and use them to prove related results.

Proving Circle Theorems - Angle in a Semicircle WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Once students can identify and apply the circle theorem ‘angle in a semicircle’, it's time for them to get to grips with the proof! This worksheet will scaffold a method to prove the circle theorem. Learners can follow a step-by-step method, filling in gaps of algebraic angle labels to complete the proof.

Learners could then be asked to recreate the proof by hiding this worksheet, only referring to it if needed.

Here at Cazoom we have created similar worksheets for various circle theorems so your students can learn and recreate the proofs for all.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
