Angle Bisector and Perpendicular at a Point

The last construction lesson in the series is for the Angle Bisector.  I struggled with the scaffold to get students to make the first arc on the page.  After they made the arc, the rest of the page was achievable by all.  I was especially impressed with how easy it was to transition from the first construction to the second for students.

Bisecting an Angle

<style type="text/css"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> </style> This task provides the most famous construction to bisect a given angle. It applies when the angle is not 180 degrees. Since the rays forming a 180 degree angle are collinear, this case can be handled separately by constructing the perpendicular to a line through a given point: note that the construction in the collinear case is actually the same as the one employed here except that the two circles in step (b) need to have radii larger than r so that they meet in two points.

Match constructions to representations of SSS, which then leads to showing the triangles are congruent to each other.

Match representations of angle constructions to resulting shapes by connecting to what students know about polygons or chunking both constructions and the polygons to focus on side-angle or side-side relationships.

Students will be able to identify the key points created by constructing 2 circles. Students will explore the relationship between the size of constructed circles, the distance between them, and the way that the segment between the centers is cut.

Students will explore the relationship between the size of constructed circles, the distance between them, and the type of triangle that can be created from the circles.

Copy Angle/Parallel Line through a Point

Continuing in a series of construction lessons, I created a worksheet for Copying an Angle and Parallel through a point. (an application of copying an angle.)  Before this lesson, students need to understand that an angle is the measure of an arc between the two rays.  Even with this information, the lesson needs scaffolds in place to get them to understand that it is the same radius arc and the length of that arc is the same as well.
