This example demonstrates how to use GeoGebra to calculate the circumference of a circle. The core math concepts involved are the formulas for the circumference of a circle, C=πd or C=2πr. Key GeoGebra commands and objects used in the construction include Circle, Point, Segment, Ray, Textfield, CircleArc. It is suitable for students in grades 7-8, for learning and practicing the calculation of the
