It’s funny that sometimes the most straightforward ideas can sometimes be quite surprising (for me anyway) The latest such idea is that the circumference of a circle with diameter 8cm is equal to the length of an arc of a semicircle with diameter of 16cm. I know this to be true but it just surprises me every time I see it.

I’ve added in the slide with AREA of semicircles too but just so students can see that area is affected differently to perimeter when scaling the diameter.
