A
collection of resources for learning and understanding circle theorems
Details:
Presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format. The
applet beneath was created in GeoGebra, which is a small, free piece of
dynamic geometry
software that can be downloaded from: www.geogebra.org
Introduction and proof of
circle theorems:
A comprehensive
presentation of the

Discovering Circle
Theorems using GeoGebra
Use GeoGebra (free download or online versions available) to
investigate angles within circles. Use the following pdf
documents:
Circle Theorems Applet
To dive straight into investigating or demonstrating, use
the applet below: move the points around to illustrate the various
theorems. Spot the pairs of equal angles, notice which pairs add up to
180 degrees and learn to appreciate why the circle produces such
special properties.
