Show your working. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place unless told otherwise.
1.A circle has a radius of 2 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 12.6 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 2
- ≈ 12.6 cm
2.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 12 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 226.2 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 144
- ≈ 226.2 cm2
3.Find the area of a semicircle with a radius of 9 cm, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 127.2 cm2
- A = ½ × π × r2 = ½ × π × 81
- ≈ 127.2 cm2
4.A circle has a radius of 5 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 31.4 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 5

Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
