The geometric construction of figures and lengths involves the use of set squares, compass
and straight edge. Computer software is now widely used in the teaching and learning of
geometric construction.
Search the literature for the pedagogical content knowledge associated with geometrical
construction for lower secondary mathematics. Summarise your findings using a graphic
organizer.
Using suitable resources, suggest teaching and learning activities for a class of low achievers
in lower secondary mathematics on the following aspect:
1. Geometrical construction of mathematical figures
2. Construction of loci in two dimensions
Provide justification for your suggestions.
[Total: 40 marks]
