CH: 8-PLAYING WITH CONSTRUCTIONS

SUBTOPIC: ART WORK

INTRODUCTION:

The chapter Playing with Constructions introduces students to basic geometric constructions
using tools like a ruler, compass, and protractor. It covers fundamental concepts such as
drawing accurate line segments, perpendiculars, and angles of various measures.

Students learn to construct bisectors of lines and angles, helping them understand
symmetry and division of shapes.
The chapter emphasizes precision and technique, encouraging students to follow systematic
steps for accurate constructions. Through hands on practice, students develop spatial
awareness and problem-solving skills, laying the groundwork for more advanced geometric
studies. In this chapter – Playing with Constructions, we will explore the fascinating world of
geometry by learning how to use tools like rulers and compasses to create precise and
beautiful constructions.
ART WORK
We start the chapter by Playing with constructions by observing some interesting figures and
trying to draw them freehand. But to achieve perfect precision, we’ll need to arm ourselves
with a ruler and a compass. These simple tools will help us explore various shapes and
curves, enhancing our understanding of geometry.
Exploring Curves and Circles

According to the chapter, Playing with Constructions, Curves are any shapes that can be
drawn on paper with a pencil. They include straight lines, circles, and other
figures.
