Geometry Construction Project
This Construction Project gives you the opportunity to apply your skills and knowledge of the use of
constructions, using a compass, straight edge, or string. Select and complete the project listed below.
Your project will be evaluated by other Geometry students as well as by the teacher. You will have 2
periods to complete your project. During the second period, we will have a gallery walk where your
peers will be providing your project with feedback, using a provided rubric. You will have the
remaining period to make any necessary changes.
The last day to submit your completed project will be _____________________________.
No Late work will be accepted.
On a poster board (11” x 17” minimum and desired but no bigger than 22”x28”), use each of the
constructions listed below to create a landscape, dream room, or theme park of your own creation. All
constructions must be labeled. All construction marks must be visible. All constructions must be an
integral part of the drawing concept (not simply placed on the drawing). The drawing you create must
be artistically colored.
List of Minimally Required Constructions:
Copy a segment
Copy an angle
Bisect a segment
Bisect an angle
Construct a perpendicular line
Perpendicular bisector of a line segment
Construct a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line
Equilateral triangle
Square
Regular hexagon inscribed in a circle
Things to keep in mind…
 No computer aided constructions will be accepted

No late work will be accepted

Construction marks must be clearly visible

This project will be judged on:
o Completeness
Each item included
Visible construction marks for each item
o Neatness
o Accuracy
o Originality and artistic merit
Compared to peer contributions
Average presentation

Neatness - How neat are the constructions…can you see the arcs without them overpowering the theme
of the poster? Are the constructions neat enough to understand what was done and is the writing neat?
______ Out of 15points
Accuracy - Are the constructions accurate?
______ Out of 20 points
Originality & Artistic Merit - In comparison to the other projects presented, how creative and original is
