Playing with Constructions
Use rulers and compasses to construct shapes while developing accuracy and geometric reasoning.
Start chapterLessons in this chapter
- 1Circles, Arcs, and Compass ArtworkDiscover how a fixed compass opening turns equal distances into circles, waves, and matching curves.
- 2Recognising Squares and RectanglesRecognise shapes by their sides and angles, even when their position or labels change.
- 3Constructing Squares and RectanglesBuild accurate squares and rectangles, and explain the purpose of every construction step.
- 4Investigating Distances and DiagonalsUse changing point positions and diagonal measurements to discover relationships inside rectangles.
- 5Planning Patterns with Squares and CirclesTurn a finished design into a construction plan using equal lengths, repeated parts, and symmetry.
- 6Constructing Rectangles from Angles and DiagonalsLocate rectangle vertices by combining angle directions with given distances.
- 7Equal Distances and the House ConstructionUse intersecting circles to find points at two equal distances and build a complete geometric design.
- 8Chapter Summary and PracticeConnect the whole chapter through mixed constructions, visual reasoning, and careful checks.
