Mathematics Geometry Procedural 12–14 yrs

Understanding angles (age 12+)

认识角(12岁以上)

Description

Use ruler and compasses to perform standard constructions: perpendicular bisector of a line segment, perpendicular to a line from or at a given point, and bisecting an angle

Mastery Evidence
  • Construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment using compasses and a straight edge
  • Construct an angle bisector and verify by measuring both halves
  • Construct a perpendicular from a point to a line using compasses only
Assessment Prompt

If your child has only a ruler and a pair of compasses, can they construct a line that cuts another line segment exactly in half at a right angle — without using a protractor?
