Mark out 10 by 36 degree arcs around its circumference and then join them up to the center of the circle.
A diameter is a line connecting any two points in a circle that passes through the centre of a circle. You can draw 1 diameter and divide the circle in half. You can draw 2 and divide it into 4 pieces or draw an infinite amount and divide it into infinite pieces.
From the center of the circle, draw like a cross from there.
If the circumference of a circle is 10 feet the radius is: about 1.592 feet. For this type of calculation, divide the circumference by Pi (about 3.1416). This gives you the diameter. Next, divide the diameter by two to get the radius.
Think about a circle. If you divide it into six equal parts, each part is 1/6 of the circle. Now think about a circle that is identical to the first. If you divide that one into eight equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the circle. If you compare the two divided circles, you will see that the 1/8 pieces must be smaller than the 1/6 pieces, because eight pieces are filling the same space as six pieces. Draw this out on paper to prove this to yourself if need be.
Use a protractor and divide it into 36 degree wedges.
To divide a circle into thirteenths, divide it into thirteen equal portions, or pieces.

circle is 2d so, just fold it 15!
start with a little V on the top and put a little line in it
Divide the circle's circumference into six 60 degree angles and join the angles to its centre then cut it into 6 equal pieces.

If the shape has high symmetry like a circle then it's easy to do. If not, measure the area, divide it by N (the number of pieces you want) and chop off that quanitity (N-1) times and, with the bit left over you will have N equal pieces.
