1.A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. What is its radius?
Answer: 5 cm
The radius is half the diameter.
2.A circle has a radius of 17 cm. What is its diameter?
Answer: 34 cm
The diameter is twice the radius.
3.A circle has a radius of 3 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 18.8 cm
- C = 2 × π × r = 2 × π × 3
- ≈ 18.8 cm
4.A circle has a radius of 14 cm. Find its area, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 615.8 cm2
- A = π × r2 = π × 142 = π × 196
- ≈ 615.8 cm2
5.A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. Find its circumference, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 31.4 cm
- C = π × d = π × 10

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.
