the circle of fifths is a seris of scales going from concert C to concert Eb... It is basically you go through the scales but each scale you add a sharp until you get to the scal with all sharps or all flats then you go with all of the scales in flat but there you take a sharp away from each scale...
I cannot think of the circle of fourths...

it is a way to map out all of the key signatures
the circle of fourths maps out the flatted keys
(F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb)
the circle of fifths maps out the sharped keys
(C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#)
hope I helped some!

That's a picture of it... I forgot what exactly the point of it is.
