Problem Solving/ Holistic Lesson Plan: Paper Structure

A General Certificate of Secondary Education math review has class members make basic constructions. Using a protractor and a ruler along with a compass, pupils develop drawings of triangles with given measurements. Scholars use their...

Pupils learn the steps for basic constructions using a straightedge, a compass, and a pencil. Pairs develop the skills to copy a segment and an angle, bisect a segment and an angle, and construct parallel and perpendicular lines.

Split it down the middle. Using the tools of geometric construction, the video shows two different methods of constructing a 30-degree angle. The first method bisects an angle of an equilateral triangle. The second uses the diagonal of a...

Learn all about the basic geometric constructions in this test prep lesson. You will explore line segments and points, and understand key terms like the terms parallel and perpendicular. Construction activities and interactive online...

Three geometric constructions students like to say are "impossible" are explained here. Trisecting an angle, squaring a circle, and doubling a cube are examined as being either possible or impossible, depending on the "rules" you use.

Capture the hearts of your young statisticians with this real-life example of using statistics in online dating. The use of average and geometric mean are discussed in the context of creating the algorithm used to connect people.

Create a 45-degree angle without bisecting an angle. A video shows a method to construct a 45-degree angle without needing to bisect a right angle. By constructing an isosceles right triangle, the presenter constructs a 45-degree angle...

There is more than one way to create a 90-degree angle. Using a compass and a straightedge, the video shows two ways to construct a right angle. The ways include using perpendicular bisectors and circle theorems. To wrap up, pupils...

Creating a 60-degree angle also creates an equilateral triangle. By watching the video, individuals learn the steps required to construct a 60-degree angle. The presentation shows that the process is the same for constructing an...

Analyze patterns in a circular arrangement. After using a geometric construction to complete a circle, learners use proportional reasoning to make predictions. By determining the length of an arc built from suitcases, they estimate the...
