b. Perform construction using the basic procedures in geometric
constructions; and
c. Realize that geometric figures can be drawn accurately without using
any measurements.
II.
Subject Matter:
a. Topic: Geometric Constructions
b. Materials: visual aids, whiteboard marker, compass straightedge.
c. Reference: Amscos Geometry by Ann Xavier Gantert
d. Strategies: Discussion with board works, collaborative learning
III.
Lesson Proper:
Teachers Activities
A. Daily Routine:
Students Activities
Good morning, class. Lets start our

discussion with a prayer.
Good morning Sir. (students will stand

and pray)
(teacher will select someone from the

class to lead the prayer)
(selected student will lead the prayer)
Thank you for leading us the prayer.

Before you take your seats, please
arrange your chairs and pick-up the
pieces of trash.
(students will check their seats and

pick-up the trashes if there is)
Who are the absentees today?
None Sir?
Very good.
Did you bring your assignments?
Yes Sir.
B. Recall:
Last meeting, we discussed about
Perpendicular Bisector of a Line,
right?
Anyone who can tell me what a
perpendicular bisector of a line is?
Yes Connor.
Very good!
Now, please enumerate the 3 methods
of proving line or line segments
perpendicular, what is the first one?
Yes Jefferson.
Very good!
The second one? Yes Leonila.
Yes Sir.
Perpendicular bisector of a line is any
line or subset of a line that is
perpendicular to the line segment at
its midpoint.
The two lines form right angles at their

point of intersection.
The two lines form congruent adjacent
angles at their point of intersection.
Each of two points on one line is
equidistant from the endpoints of a
segment of the other.
Yes, very good!

The last one? Yes Reynalyn.
Yes Sir.
Very good, it seems like you really
understand our topic last meeting.
Yes Sir.
C. Motivation:
Okay, lets have an activity.
Are you ready class?
I have here sets of puzzle. You are going
to solve this puzzle and you will
identify what object is in the image.
Is it clear?
Okay, lets start the activity.
D. Lesson Proper:
Geometric construction is a drawing of
geometric figure done using only a
Yes Sir.
A straightedge is any straight device

used to draw a line segment but is
not used to measure distances or
lengths.
A compass is used to draw circles or
arcs of circle to locate points at a
fixed distance from given point.
pencil, a compass and a

straightedge.
Who can define what a straightedge is?
Yes Jefferson.
Radii of congruent circles are congruent.
Very good!
Who can define a compass? Yes Angelo.
Very good!
It seems you already know the use of a
compass and a straightedge, lets
discuss now the six basic
procedures in geometric
construction. Postulate 5.1 allows us
to perform these basic
constructions.
Please read the postulate 5.1. Yes
Ethell.
Thank you, take your seat.
The word congruent means equal or
the same.
The postulate says that circles with the
same size have the same radius.
Did you understand?
We will now proceed to the basic
constructions.
Lets discuss first the three basic
procedures, while other procedures
will be discuss tomorrow.
Bring out your materials so that you can
follow the procedures.
Please read construction 1.
Ok, take your seat.
Example:
Given:
AB
Yes Sir.
Construct a line segment congruent to a

given line segment.
CD
Construct
a line segment
congruent to
AB
Please draw it on the board.

1. Using a straight edge or ruler, draw
a ray
CX
2. Open the compass so that the point

is on A and the point of the pencil is
on B.
Yes Sir.
Sir, the distances are congruent.
Construct an angle congruent to a given

angle.
3. Using the same compass radius,

place the point on C and, with the
pencil, draw an arc that intersects
CX . Label this point of

intersection D.
Conclusion:
AB CD
Did you do the same procedure?

Look at the distances between A and B,
and C and D, what have you
noticed?
Very good!
Please read construction 2?
Example:
Given
Construct
EDF BAC
1. Draw a ray with endpoint D.
2. With A as center, draw an arc that

intersects each ray of A . Label
the points of intersection as B and
C. Using the same radius, draw an
arc with D as the center that
intersects the ray from D to E.
3. With E as the center, draw an arc

with radius equal to BC that
Sir, Side-Side-Side (SSS) Postulate.
intersects the arc drawn on step 2.

Label the intersection as F.
Yes Sir.
4. Draw
Construct the perpendicular bisector of

a given line segment and the
midpoint of a given line segment.
DF
Look at the angles, we used congruent

radii to draw AC DF ,
AB DE
and BC EF . Therefore, what

postulate that we used?
Very good!
And
EDF BAC
because they are
corresponding parts of congruent

triangles.
Is it clear?
Lastly, please read construction 3.
Example:
Given
AB
Construct
AB
CD
midpoint of
at M, the
AB .
1. Open the compass to a radius that

is greater than one-half of AB .
The distances are congruent.
2. Place the point of the compass at A

and draw an arc above AB
arc below
AB
and an
Yes Sir.
3. Using the same radius, place the
point of the compass at B and draw
an arc above
below
AB
AB
None Sir?
and an arc
intersecting the first
two arcs label the intersections as C

and D.
Geometric construction is a drawing of

geometric figure done using only a
pencil, a compass and a
straightedge.
4. Use a straightedge to draw

intersecting
AB
CD
at M.
Take a look at the figure, what have you

noticed about the distances
between A and C, B and D, A and D,
and B and D?
Very good observation.

Since we used the same radius,
AC BC
and
AD BD .
Therefore, C and D are both

equidistance from A and B. If two
points are each equidistant from the

endpoints of a line segment, then
the points determine the
perpendicular bisector of the line
segment (Theorem 5.2).
CD
is the perpendicular bisector of
AB . Finally, M is the intersection

point
CD
and
AB . So that, AM
= BM. M is the midpoint of
AB .
Is it clear?
Do you have any question?
Okay, since you don't have any
question, pleas define geometric
constructions
E. Evaluation:
1. Given:
AB
Construct:
a. A line segment congruent to
AB .
b. The perpendicular bisector of
AB .
2. Given:
Construct:
a. An angle congruent to
A .
F. Assignment:
For your assignment, please have an
advance reading for the remaining
procedures.
And, before you live the classroom,
please pick up the pieces of paper
around.
