Circle Theorems

A collection of excellent free resources for demonstrating the various circle theorems:
Tim Devereux has created GeoGebra applets which allow exploration of the circle theorems. You can access each theorem from the menu on the left which includes a useful summary of all the theorems.

From Suffolk Maths there are many GeoGebra applets available including a set for the Circle theorems. The collection includes a PowerPoint with instructions for drawing circles and measuring angles with Geogebra.

From Nrich comes an interactive Geoboard and a selection of problems to introduce circle theorems. As with all Nrich resources teachers’ notes are included. See these on the Subtended Angles problem for example.

On Ron Barrow’s excellent Waldomaths site there are applets covering the vocabulary needed and for demonstrating the various theorems.

Move A, B, C and D by dragging and experiment.
Note the links to the other circle theorem applets and to a set of videos.
Note also the options at the bottom of the screen.
