Moving Circle Theorems

Ben Sparks, 19/mar/2021

8 Circle Theorems discussed at GCSE level (UK) Animated The statements of the theorems are not perfectly rigorous (this is intentional). The proofs are not stated formally, and should form the basis of class discussion, leading to more formal proofs if required.
