Overview

In this performance assessment, students will be given two tasks where they will solve real-world problems involving circumference and area of circles. The tasks will require students to work fluently with formulas, which are not provided to them in this assessment.  

This assessment should be used once students have solved problems involving circumference and area of circles.
