Project 2: Measurement and Constructions
Prepare to turn in work that follows the
guidelines. See ASULearn for hints. You
may work alone or in a group (maximum 3 people) and turn in one project
writeup per group.
Problem 1: Wallace and West Roads to Geometry 1.1 8
Problems 2 and 3:
Sibley The Geometric Viewpoint 1.1 3 and 10
Problem 4:
Sketchpad Examine Wallace and West Roads to Geometry
p. 210 Construction 4.9.4
and
Euclid's Elements Book 1 to look at
Proposition 9.
1)
Use Sketchpad to complete the construction. You may only use straight edge
and compass features and additional Sketchpad features which are
construction propositions that come before proposition 9.
2) Save your
document as yourname.gsp
(no spaces!) and attach it onto the personal storage space in ASULearn.
|
| 7 Sep - Tues |
Read Wallace and West Roads to Geometry p. 1-5 and 8-9, and Sibley
Geometric Viewpoint p. 2-5 and p. 9 and come to class prepared to discuss
the readings.
Begin working on Project 2.
