About this worksheet

Circles in general form. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the number that completes a square, and write the bracket it makes.
  • I can turn x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0 into (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r² and read the center and radius.
  • I can tell when an equation is a circle, a single point, or no graph.

Standard: G-GPE.A.1

Words to know

general form: x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0: everything multiplied out.

standard form: (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²: center and radius show.

complete the square: Add (half the x-number)² to make a full square bracket.

constant: The number with no x or y (the F).

Common mistakes

Your child halved the number but did not square it.

Your child squared the whole number instead of half of it.

Your child flipped a sign when writing the bracket or the center.

What to say

Ask: how big is the missing corner square?

Ask: how many strips is the 6x split into?

Ask: does x² − 4x come from (x − 2)² or (x + 2)²?
