Description

In this unit, pupils construct triangles and construct diagrams following specific restrictions using their knowledge of loci and their work on constructions.

This unit follows from vectors where pupils revisited and enhanced their understanding of shape and space. We link that knowledge to this unit as well as building from proof and trigonometry to construct accurate and specific shapes and diagrams.

  1. Checking and securing understanding of constructing the perpendicular bisector of a line segment
  2. Checking and securing understanding of constructing a perpendicular to a given line through a point
  3. Checking and securing understanding of bisecting an angle
  4. Constructing angles of 90° and 45°
  5. Constructing a triangle given three side lengths using compasses
  6. Constructing a triangle given two side lengths and the angle between them using a compass
  7. Constructing a triangle given two angles and the side length between them
  8. Constructing a right-angled triangle given the length of the hypotenuse and one other side length
  9. Constructing a triangle given two side lengths and an angle not between them
  10. Constructing loci
  11. Applying constructions to loci problems
  12. Solving loci problems in context
  13. Advanced problem solving with loci and constructions
