Why this why now
After studying polygons and circles in depth in previous units, this year culminates in learning to mathematically construct these shapes using knowledge of the properties of triangles, quadrilaterals and circles in order to draw them accurately.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Use ruler and compass for straight-edge and arcs
- Construct perpendiculars and bisectors
- Interpret geometric conditions in drawings

Constructions
In this unit we develop skills in using a pair of compasses and ruler to construct various accurate shapes and angles including triangles, rhombi, perpendicular lines and angle bisectors.
