Today in maths we were finding the circumference of a circle by finding the diameter then multiply it by π (3.14). We walked through a circle painted on the caught and then ran back to class to add the equations up. I learned how to write it up and its like the volume. C= π x D and that is basically the find circumference its 3.14 x the diameter. I got 13 foot lengths(we got this from previous weeks lessons) so then I converted that to how many of my feet fit into a meter and that was 4.5 across so I multiplied that by 3.14(π) and got
14.137 metres as my final answer. I am really understanding now about finding the circumference of circles using the diameter and pi. This is a photo of us working out the diameter.
