Welcome to the construction zone! One of the tricky elements of geometry is the “construction” – a task whereby students must use their tools to construct up to 22 geometric shapes and figures using mathematical principles and tools. These tools used are the following:
– Usual essentials: Pencil, Rubber, Ruler, Sharpener etc. – Compass: Used for drawing circles and arcs. – Protractor: Used for measuring and drawing angles. – Set Square / “Triangle” : Typically 45-degree and 60-degree triangles used for drawing perpendicular lines.
Here’s how to complete all 22 of the construction tasks, step by step. Swipe the slider along the bottom to follow along!
