Constructions

MILESTONE 2

ABOUT THIS MILESTONE

In this Milestone, we will make geometric constructions. To make a construction means to draw shapes, angles, and lines accurately through the use of tools such as a compass, straightedge, pencil, patty paper, etc. Rather than just guessing where a perpendicular line might be or where to cut an angle in half at, we use constructions to get a more precise answer.

SKILLS DEFINED

  • 3.39 I can make geometric constructions
