Ms. McCarthy has created an interactive version of Theorem 19 (the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the arc) using GeoGebra. GeoGebra is free mathematics software to create interactive graphics, algebra and spreadsheets.
Theorem: The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the arc
Theorem 19: The angle at the centre of a circle standing on a given arc is twice the angle at any point of the circle standing on the same arc.
Instructions: Move the angle on the arc around using the mouse, keeping it on the circle and you will note the value of the angle is always half the angle at the centre. Similarily if you change the value of the angle at the centre the angle on the arc changes.
NOTE: If you do not see an interactive mathematical diagram, created with GeoGebra, you must download Java software so that your browser can display it correctly. Go to the Java website now and click the 'download now' button! It should take about 5 minutes for you install.
This is a Java Applet created using GeoGebra from www.geogebra.org - it looks like you don't have Java installed, please go to www.java.com

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
Stratford is celebrating Maths Week 2026 (12th - 18th October) with daily activities around the school, at breaktimes and in Maths classes! The tutor-time daily quiz is proving to be extremely competitive as each form group tries to solve it and then run to find Ms Matthews in order to win the box of chocolates!
