Abstract
Most of the learners’ achievement in mathematics at school level/upper primary level is not satisfactory. It is also seen that some learners whose mathematical concepts are not clear but they secure very good marks through mechanical approach. This might be very harmful for mathematics learning. In fact concept development is the basic goal of mathematics teaching and much alienation to mechanical process results in to get an escape route by scoring good marks without proper conceptual development. Research has documented that to remove the said situation there is a need of special care introducing proper teaching-learning process viz. activity oriented method which helps a significant improvement of the active performances of students. Thus in order to adopt activity oriented teaching-learning process, standard books of school mathematics with adequate number of activity examples and exercises are greatly needed. In this context, the author has presented in the present paper 15 activities concerning the acquaintance with a circle.
