Throw for My Area
geometry · radius and area of circles on a coordinate plane
To measure the radius and solve for the area of a circle [7.G.B.4].
Throw for My Area is a Grade 7 geometry game that connects circle area with coordinates. Dice generate a center point and radius, students represent the circle on the coordinate plane, and then calculate its area using the given radius. Each turn links a geometric location with the measurement of the circle itself.
Use it for partner or small-group review when students are working with radius, area of circles, and coordinate-plane reasoning. Ask students to identify the radius before applying the area formula so the diagram and calculation stay connected.
