Project-Based Learning – Target Practice: Teaching the Area Formula for a Circle
Meaningful math with a purpose! This great hands-on lesson gets students doing math while designing targets. Students become comfortable using the area formula for circles. And the best part is, their targets are set up and used during the school’s fall carnival. Watch the video below for the entire lesson plan.

Hello, this sounds like a great project to do. I don’t see an active video on the site, but I did watch your YouTube video. In that, you mentioned the calculations sheet the students had to fill out. Do you have that available? Thank you.
Hi Kyle – thanks for bringing the missing video to my attention. I’m not sure what happened there. Here’s a link that will take you to our website where the PDF can be found. Just choose the 3-6 tab and look for the Target video. Thank you! https://familymathnight.com/resources/lessons.php
