Circles exam questions for GCSE maths, with worked solutions
Practise circles with exam questions written the way GCSE papers test them: naming the parts of a circle, finding the circumference and the area from a radius or a diameter, giving answers in terms of pi, working back from a circumference or an area to the radius, and finding shaded areas made from circles, semicircles and quarter circles. Every question comes with a worked solution and an answer, and Remix gives you a fresh version with new numbers whenever you want another go.
39 questions: 16 Foundation, 12 Higher and 11 for both tiers. Every question has a worked solution and an answer. Type your answers in and the page marks them as you go.
