Ruler & Compass Simulation
This application allows you to simulate ruler and compass constructions on the net, either
freehand, or for predefined goals going from basic operations to sophisticated ones such
as the regular polygon of 17 sides. In most of the cases, there is a solution which you can
follow step by step, and/or a hint which explains the idea.

Euclid's Elements
The text of all 13 Books is complete, and all of the figures are illustrated using the
Geometry Applet, even those in the last three books on solid geometry that are threedimensional. Be sure to read the entire Introduction.


The Golden Ratio
The purpose of this web page is to provide an introduction to the Golden Ratio and
Fibonacci Sequence. Instead of simply supplying definitions and asking the student to
engage in mindless practice, our idea is to have the student work through several
activities to discover the applications of the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Sequence.

A Stitch in Time! A Webquest on Quilting Traditions
Creating a quilt based on hypothetical instructions that Betsy Ross left behind in her
journal guides students through this creative and interactive avenue for exploring
geometry standards. By following this WebQuest, students will explore geometric
shapes, patterns, and symmetry while creating a unique project that encourages them to
integrate all three of these elements.
