ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Circle and Circumference – Geometric Figures for Kids
Welcome to Smile and Learn! Have you ever noticed a wheel or a Ferris wheel? Today, we’re going to explore two shapes that you can find almost everywhere: the circle and the circumference.
The circumference is a curved, closed line where every point is the same distance from the center. Look around you. Do you see any circumferences? That’s right! Think about a ring or a hoop.
The circle is a flat shape that is surrounded by a circumference. Can you spot any circles around you? Yes, a coin or a pizza are great examples!
The main difference between a circumference and a circle is that the circumference is the line around the circle, while the circle includes everything inside that line. So, the circle is inside the circumference.
Since the circumference is a line, we measure its length in units like yards, inches, or miles. The circle, being a flat shape, is measured in square units like square yards, square inches, or square miles.
Let’s learn about the different parts of a circle and circumference:
Let’s go over the parts of the circle and the circumference one more time:
Great job! You’ve learned a lot about circles and circumferences. See you soon, friends!
Circle Hunt: Go on a circle hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that have a circular shape, like a clock, a plate, or a button. Draw or take pictures of the circles you find and label the circumference and the circle. Share your findings with a friend and see who found the most circles!
Make Your Own Pizza: Use playdough or clay to create your own pizza. Roll it into a flat circle. Use a string to measure the circumference of your pizza. Then, use a ruler to measure the diameter. Remember, the diameter is twice the length of the radius. Can you find the radius of your pizza?
Story Time with Circles: Imagine a day in the life of a circle. Write a short story or draw a comic strip about the adventures of a circle. What objects does it meet? How does it feel about being a circle? Share your story with the class and discuss how circles are important in everyday life.

Welcome to Smile and Learn!
Can you see that wheel over there? Look at that Ferris wheel!
Today, we’re going to tell you about two geometric shapes that you can see everywhere: the circle and the circumference.
The circumference is a curved, closed line whose points are all the same distance from the center. Look around you. Do you see any circumferences? That’s right! This ring or this hoop.
The circle is a plane figure whose boundaries are defined by a circumference. Look around you. Do you see any circles? That’s right! This coin or this pizza.
The difference between a circumference and a circle is that the circumference is the line around the circle, while the circle is everything that the circumference contains. In other words, the circle is inside the circumference.
As you can see, the circumference is a line, which is why we measure its length in yards, inches, or miles. However, the circle is a plane figure, which is why we measure its surface in square yards, square inches, or square miles.
We can distinguish the following elements in a circumference and a circle:
– The center is the point from which all points of the circumference are the same distance.
– The radius is a segment that connects the center with any point on the circumference.
– The diameter is a segment that connects two points on the circumference, passing through the center, and it divides the circle into two parts. As you can see, the diameter is twice the radius.
– The chord is a segment that connects any two points on the circumference.
– The arc is the part of the circumference that lies between two points.
– The sector is the region between two radii and their arc.
Look, it’s a slice of pizza!
Let’s recap the parts of the circle and the circumference:
– The center
– The radius
– The diameter
– The chord
– The arc
– The sector
Well done! Awesome roundup! See you soon, friends!
