U1L2 Constructing Patterns

The purpose of this lesson is to give students practice writing and following precise instructions with straightedge and compass moves as they create interesting designs. In the previous lesson, students learned how to use the straightedge and compass. In subsequent lessons, students will use properties of constructions to make arguments. In this lesson, students attend to precision when they refer to figures in their construction using mathematical terms and labeled points. This activity includes lesson summary videos and practice problems.
