Activity 4: Complete the sentences below using the words in the box. The firstone has been done for you.

13. We use a compass for drawing circles.

14. If you make a mistake you can correct it with an ___________

15. but only if you were drawing with a ________________

16. You can’t draw a 50º degrees angle without a ________________

17. You will need the ________________ for drawing parallel lines

18. With a ____________ you can draw straight lines and take measures

Activity 3: Follow the steps to draw a polygon.

a) Use ruler and pencil todraw a 8 cm segment

b) Take the compass and

measure a 6 cm radius on

the ruler

c) Place the spike of the

compass on one end of the

segment and draw an arc

over the middle

d) Do it again from the

other side

e) Now connect the

intersection of the arcs

with the ends of the

segment.

Activity 5: The pentagon and the 5-pointed star

Follow the steps to complete the drawing:

1. Take the first circle and draw a diameterwith pencil and ruler (a straight line acrossthe middle)

2. You need to divide the circle in five equalangles (360º : 5 = 72º) → Use theprotractor to draw a 72º angle with thevertex in the centre

3. Use the compass to take the measure ofthe sector and “copy it” around the circle

4. Use the ruler to draw segments from everyvertex to the next one. You just drew aregular pentagon

5. Repeat the process but this time, draw thesegments skipping one vertex to form afive-pointed star

5. Repeat the process but this time, draw thesegments skipping two vertices to form astar

Activity 7: For this exercise you will work in pairs.• Before starting: take a good look at the steps in activity 6 and your drawing.• DO NOT SHOW these to your partner.• One partner will have to describe his/her drawing to the other. Use your own words. •••• The other partner will try to draw it following the instructions.
