Geometric Construction

These activities use the many geometric construction functions within Mathomat V7

These printable activities show how to replace compass and straight edge construction using Mathomat. They are based on the Mathomat Builder manual activities and use Professor Chris Tisdell's TGT, the Arcbuilder scale, protractor and perpendicular lines in the Mathomat V7.
