The Specific Objectives:


1. Using manual drawing tools, students will construct regular polygons with 5, 6, 7, and 8
sides, each within 2mm of specified dimensions.
2. Given a circle, students will inscribe and circumscribe 3 different regular polygons, with
angles accurate to within 2°.
3. Students will apply the general method to construct a 9-sided polygon, with sides equal
in length to within 1mm.

Instructional Strategies:
- Demonstrations of construction techniques

- Step-by-step guided practice

- Collaborative peer activities


Equipments/Materials Required:
- Compass, rulers, protractor, set squares

✏️Part A: Polygon Construction Test (20 marks)

Instructions:
Using only manual drawing tools (compass, ruler, protractor), construct the following
regular polygons:

 Pentagon (5 sides)
 Hexagon (6 sides)
 Heptagon (7 sides)
 Octagon (8 sides)

Each must be:

 Accurately sized (sides within ±1 mm tolerance)


 Properly labeled
 Drawn using correct geometric construction techniques (no freehand)

Evaluation Criteria (5 marks per shape): | Criterion | Marks |

accuracy within tolerance | 2 | | Clear linework and labels | 1 |

🟠 Part B: Application Problem – Circle Relationships (10 marks)

Instructions:

1. Given a circle, inscribe a regular hexagon and a square


2. Given a polygon (pentagon), circumscribe a circle around it

Evaluation Criteria: | Task | Marks | |--------------------------------------|-------| | Hexagon


correctly inscribed | 3 | | Square correctly inscribed | 2 | | Circle correctly circumscribed |

✍️Part C: Written Question – General Method for Constructing n-Sided Polygons (10 marks)

Question:
Explain the general steps for constructing a regular polygon with any number of sides
(n), using only a compass and straightedge. Include the use of central angle and radius.

Marking Guide: | Response Element | Marks |


|------------------------------------------------------|-------| | Mentions use of central angle (360°
÷ n) | 2 | | Identifies step-by-step arc/angle method | 4 | | Uses correct terminology (radius,
center, segment) | 2 | | Clear explanation and logical sequence | 2 |
