About this resource
This quiz covers geometric constructions using compass and straightedge, specifically focusing on fundamental construction techniques taught in high school geometry courses at the 9th through 10th grade level. Students need to understand the precise steps and procedures for creating basic geometric figures and relationships, including copying line segments and angles, bisecting angles and line segments, constructing perpendicular bisectors, creating parallel lines, and inscribing regular polygons (squares, hexagons, and triangles) within circles. The core mathematical reasoning involves understanding congruence relationships, the properties of circles and regular polygons, and the logical sequence of construction steps. Students must recognize the specific roles of the compass (for measuring distances and creating arcs) and straightedge (for drawing straight lines) in each construction, as well as identify completed constructions from diagrams showing construction marks and auxiliary lines. Created by Jessica Miller, a Mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This comprehensive quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool for students learning classical geometric constructions, suitable for use as guided practice during instruction, homework assignments, or review before summative assessments. Teachers can use individual questions as warm-up problems to reinforce specific construction techniques, or deploy the entire quiz to evaluate student mastery of multiple construction methods simultaneously. The varied question formats, including procedural steps, diagram interpretation, and vocabulary recognition, make this resource particularly valuable for differentiated instruction and identifying specific areas where students need additional support. This quiz aligns with Common Core State Standards G-CO.12 and G-CO.13, which require students to make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods, and construct an equilateral triangle, square, and regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.
