Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Concepts: The teacher should start the class by reviewing concepts that are fundamental to understanding circumference and circle, such as radius, diameter, area, and perimeter. They can use visual diagrams and practical examples to reinforce these concepts. For example, they can show a pizza and ask students if they can identify the radius, diameter, and explain how they would calculate the area and perimeter of the pizza. (3 - 5 minutes)

2. Problem Situations: The teacher can present two problem situations involving circumference and circle concepts. For example, a problem that involves determining the length of the edge of a bicycle wheel or another that involves determining the area of a circular soccer field. These problem situations will serve to contextualize the subject and also to arouse students' interest in learning about the topic. (3 - 5 minutes)

3. Contextualization: The teacher should explain the importance of circles and circumferences in various practical applications in everyday life, such as in engineering (design of wheels, gears), architecture (design of curved structures), physics (circular motion), among others. This contextualization will help give meaning to learning, showing students how mathematics is relevant and applicable in their daily lives. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Attention to Details: To capture students' attention, the teacher can share some interesting facts about circles and circumferences. For example, they can mention that the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter is always the same, regardless of the size of the circle, and this ratio is the number pi (π). Another interesting curiosity is the history of how the number pi was discovered and how it is used in various areas of science and engineering. (3 - 5 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Definition of Circumference and Circle (5 - 7 minutes):

   • The teacher should start by presenting the formal definition of a circumference as a set of all points in a plane that are at a fixed distance (the radius) from a specific point (the center).
   • Next, they should define a circle as the flat area delimited by the circumference.
   • Taking advantage of the definitions, the teacher should introduce the terms radius, diameter (twice the radius), chord (a line segment that joins two points of the circumference), arc (part of the circumference delimited by two points), and inscribed angle (an angle whose vertices are on the circumference).

2. Properties and Formulas of Circumferences and Circles (7 - 10 minutes):

   • The teacher should review the properties of circles and circumferences, such as: all radii of a circumference are equal, the ratio between the circumference and the diameter is the number pi (π), among others.
   • The teacher should then introduce the formulas to calculate the circumference length (2πr or πd) and the circle area (πr²).
   • It is important for the teacher to emphasize that these formulas derive from the properties of the circle and the constant π.
   • The teacher should also present the formulas to calculate the length of an arc (proportion of the angle in relation to 360° or 2π radians times the radius) and the measure of an inscribed angle (half of the corresponding central angle).

3. Practical Examples (8 - 10 minutes):

   • After the theory, the teacher should move on to practical application, showing examples of how to solve problems involving circles and circumferences.
   • The teacher can start with simple examples, such as calculating the area and circumference of a circle given the radius or diameter.
   • Next, they should move on to more complex examples, such as determining the length of an arc or the measure of an inscribed angle.
   • The teacher should solve each example step by step, explaining each stage of the resolution process, and encouraging student participation in problem-solving.

4. Resolution of Problem Situations (5 - 8 minutes):

   • Finally, the teacher should return to the problem situations presented at the beginning of the class and ask students, based on what they have learned, to try to solve them.
   • The teacher should guide the students during the resolution but allow them to try to solve the problems on their own.
   • After the resolution, the teacher should review the solutions with the class, explaining each step and clarifying any doubts that may arise.

Return (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Synthesis of Learned Contents (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should ask students to briefly summarize the concepts and formulas they learned during the class to reinforce knowledge retention and consolidation.
   • It can be helpful to do a quick review by asking students to explain in their own words what a circumference, a circle, a radius, a diameter, a chord, an arc, and an inscribed angle are, as well as the formulas to calculate the circumference length, the circle area, the length of an arc, and the measure of an inscribed angle.

2. Connection with the Real World (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should recall the practical examples and problem situations discussed during the class and highlight how the concepts and formulas learned can be applied in solving real problems involving circles and circumferences.
   • This may include examples of how circle mathematics is used in various areas, such as engineering (design of wheels, gears), architecture (design of curved structures), physics (circular motion), among others.

3. Reflection on Learning (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher should propose that students reflect on what they learned during the class. They can ask themselves:
     1. What was the most important concept I learned today?
     2. What questions have not been answered yet?
   • This reflection can be done individually or in small groups, and students can share their answers with the class if they wish.
   • The teacher should listen carefully to students' answers and address any unanswered questions.

4. Feedback and Closure (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should provide feedback to students, praising their efforts and progress and giving constructive suggestions for further improvement.
   • The teacher should then end the class, reinforcing the importance of the concepts learned and encouraging students to continue studying and practicing at home.
   • The teacher can also provide references for additional studies, such as books, websites, or videos that explain the concepts of circle and circumference clearly and interestingly.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Summary of Contents (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher should recap the main concepts and formulas presented during the class: definition of circumference and circle, elements of a circumference (radius, diameter, chord, arc, and inscribed angle), properties of the circumference, calculation of the circumference length and circle area, calculation of the length of an arc and the measure of an inscribed angle.
   • To reinforce knowledge retention, the teacher can ask students to repeat the concepts and formulas in their own words.

2. Connection between Theory and Practice (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should highlight how the class combined theory (definition and properties of circumferences, calculation formulas) with practice (examples and problem-solving).
   • The teacher can emphasize the importance of understanding theory to be able to apply it in practice, and how practice helps consolidate the understanding of theory.

3. Additional Materials (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should suggest additional study materials that students can use to deepen their knowledge on the class topic.
   • These materials may include math books, educational websites, explanatory videos, interactive math games, among others.
   • The teacher can also recommend additional practice exercises that students can solve on their own to reinforce what they have learned.

4. Importance of the Subject (1 - 2 minutes):

   • Finally, the teacher should summarize the importance of circles and circumferences, emphasizing how they are used in various areas of everyday and professional life.
   • The teacher can give concrete examples of how the learned concepts are applied in different fields, such as engineering, architecture, physics, arts, among others.
   • The teacher can encourage students to observe and identify circles and circumferences in their daily lives, and reflect on how circle mathematics is applied in these situations.
