encourages us to widen our
knowledge

Motivation Okay class, let us recall a bit of our past lesson on
basic geometric terms.

from one point to another (with
example)

An angle is a geometric figure

Maa Shaa Allah. Everyone did well. Takbir!
B. Lesson Proper Okay class, I will now introduce to you geometric
Activity construction with the video that I will now play.
Make sure to note down.
Geometric constructions play a crucial role in
mathematics and have various real-world
applications. Here are some of the key reasons
why geometric constructions are important and
explain what you think about it:
1. Foundation of Geometry:
2. Visual Representation:
3. Problem-Solving Skills: Geometric
constructions foster problem-solving
skills by challenging students to apply
mathematical principles to real-world
scenarios. Through constructions,
students learn to analyze problems,
relationship between two lines, line
segments, or rays that intersect to
form right angles (90-degree angles)
(with an example).
Parallel lines are two or more
straight lines that lie in the same
plane and never intersect,
regardless of how far they are
extended.
Allahu Akbar!
Listen attentively to the teacher's
explanation.
Take notes on key concepts and
applications.
Pays attentively and observes the
following pictures shown:
Geometric constructions serve as
the foundation of geometry,
providing a hands-on approach for
students to explore and understand
fundamental concepts such as
points, lines, angles, and shapes.
Through constructions, students
develop spatial reasoning skills and
gain insights into the properties and
relationships of geometric figures.
Geometric constructions offer visual
representations of abstract
mathematical concepts, making
them more tangible and accessible
to students. By physically
constructing geometric figures using
tools like compasses and
straightedges, students can visualize
mathematical principles and deepen
their understanding of geometric
concepts.
 devise strategies, and execute precise
measurements and constructions to
arrive at solutions. These problem-
solving skills are transferable to various
areas of mathematics and beyond.
4. Engineering and Architecture:
Geometric constructions are essential in
engineering and architecture for
designing and constructing structures,
buildings, and infrastructure. Engineers
and architects use geometric
constructions to create accurate
blueprints, floor plans, and models,
ensuring the structural integrity and
functionality of their designs.
5. Surveying and Cartography: In surveying
and cartography, geometric
constructions are used to measure and
map land features, boundaries, and
topographical details. Surveyors rely on
geometric constructions to accurately
determine distances, angles, and
elevations, essential for planning
construction projects, mapping
geographical regions, and land
management.
6. Art and Design: Geometric constructions
inspire creativity and artistic expression
in various forms of art and design. Artists
and designers use geometric shapes and
constructions to create visually appealing
compositions, patterns, and structures in
paintings, sculptures, graphic design, and
architecture. Geometric constructions
provide a framework for symmetry,
balance, and aesthetic harmony in
artistic endeavors.
7. Computer Graphics and Animation: In
computer graphics and animation,
geometric constructions are used to
create three-dimensional (3D) models
and simulations of objects, characters,
and environments. Computer-aided
design (CAD) software utilizes geometric
constructions to generate virtual
representations of physical objects,
enabling engineers, architects, and
animators to design, prototype, and
visualize complex structures and
animations.

 Bisecting a given line segment: The midpoint is equidistant from the endpoints.
 Bisecting a given angle: Divides the angle into two congruent angles.

3. Constructing Parallel and Perpendicular Lines:

 Drawing a line parallel to a given line through a given point: The new line does not intersect the
given line and is equidistant from it.
 Drawing a line perpendicular to a given line through a given point: Forms a 90-degree angle with the
given line.

 Identifying perpendicular lines in a figure: Lines intersect to form 90-degree angles.
 Identifying congruent angles in a figure: Angles have the same measure.
 Identifying similar triangles in a figure: Corresponding angles are congruent, and corresponding sides
are proportional.

 Identifying lines of symmetry in a figure: A line that divides the figure into two mirror-image halves.

6. Applying Geometric Constructions:

 Constructing the midpoint of a given line segment: The midpoint divides the line segment into two
equal parts.
 Constructing an inscribed angle in a circle: Angle formed by two chords that intersect on the circle's

intersects the line segment at its midpoint and forms a 90-degree angle.

Instructions:

1. Introduce the Activity (5 minutes):

 Explain to students that they will be participating in a geometry scavenger hunt to demonstrate their
understanding of geometric concepts and constructions. They will draw lots as to what they will do
from the checklist above.
 Review the instructions for the scavenger hunt and clarify any questions or concerns.

2. Scavenger Hunt (20 minutes):

 Distribute the scavenger hunt checklist to each student.

 Instruct students to use a compass and straightedge to complete the tasks on the checklist. They
should demonstrate their ability to construct geometric shapes, measure angles, and apply
geometric concepts accurately.
 Encourage students to work independently and to be as precise as possible in their constructions.

3. Assessment (15 minutes):

  As students complete the scavenger hunt tasks, circulate around the classroom to observe their
progress and provide guidance or assistance as needed.
 Use the answer key to assess students' work and determine if they have completed the tasks
correctly. Take note of any errors or misconceptions that may arise.
 Alternatively, you can collect the completed scavenger hunt checklists for grading later.

4. Discussion and Reflection (10 minutes):

 Once the scavenger hunt is complete, reconvene as a class to discuss the activity and students'
experiences.
 Encourage students to share their thoughts, challenges, and successes during the scavenger hunt.
 Facilitate a reflection on the key geometric concepts and constructions covered in the activity,
