Description
On this project, students will explore the use of a compass and a straight edge to create accurate designs using the basic geometric constructions.
Expectations
- Accuracy — All lines must be carefully drawn with a pencil using only a straightedge, and compass. There should be no freehand drawing.
- Neatness — Attention to the look and neatness of the designs is important.
- Creativity — The original design should be unique and show some planning and effort.
- Effort – The more detailed, planned, colored, etc. the better!
- Meeting Deadlines / Following Directions – The project must satisfy the above expectations and be completed on time.
- Presentation: Mounting must be neat, organized and carefully presented together on your chosen background… the better it looks, the better your grade.
Wow factor is big here!
The task includes an adapted IB MYP assessment rubric for criterion B "Investigating patterns" and criterion C "Communication"

This was used during "asynchronous learning" days due to several snow storms with an 8th grade geometry class. I liked that it had step by step directions.
Great engaging resource for my math students. Thank you so much!
This engaged my students easily.
Great resource!
Thank you for this amazing project! It is exactly was I was looking for -- a constructions project that I could score using IB MYP criterion that would allow the students to be able to achieve the 7/8 levels with investigating patterns.
Thank you for your feedback Jennifer,
Students love it and it is a great and creative way to put geometry construction into practice melted with creative art.
Hope it works well with your students.
