Class VI to X, NCERT text books questinos under the topic “Geometric

Construction’ is solved using the Euclidean Geometry Software

‘Robocompass’.

Robocompass is developed by MathDisk Technologies.

The solutions are based on the commands developed by the

MathDisk Technologies team.

We appreciate the commendable work by the team members of

MathDisk Technologies in developing the commands and grateful to

them for allowing us to use the software free of cost.

 A NOTE TO THE TEACHERS

Tell me and I will forget ; show me and I may remember; involve me and I
will understand - Chinese proverb

Mathematics is related to the "real world" aspects of life that the child
sees and relates to. Many aspects of Mathematics, including algebra,
trigonometry, geometry and calculus, can be used in the real world.

Trying to learn geometry without using geometric construction is like trying to

learn chemistry or biology without using laboratories. Basic knowledge and
skills on geometric constructions help students to discover and explore
geometric relationships and interpret geometric concepts and theorems. They
can also help the teachers to transform the static and confusing array of
definitions and theorems typically found in geometry textbooks into an active
and exploratory investigation of geometric relationships.

Geometric Constructions helps in the development of cognitive and

psychomotor domains of the learner. The accuracy and understanding of
geometric construction depends on the clarity of the basic ideas of construction.
In a class room situation, a teacher cannot repeat a particular step in a
construction problem if the entire construction is done.

Computer-based geometric construction programs such as Geometers

Sketchpad enable both students and teachers to explore geometric relationships
dynamically and to create very complex and yet very precise geometric
constructions and diagrams.
Robocompass is a Euclidean Geometry Software on a Virtual 3 D Paper. With
just a handful of commands the users can explore basic constructs to
understand proofs involving congruence, similarity, ratio, reflection, etc.
Robocompass is fully integrated with Google Drive, so teachers can save their
demonstrations and give construction assignments as homework to their
students all by sharing their files through Google Drive.

The solutions to the exercises under Geometric Construction in NCERT

Textbooks of class VI to X is designed using the Robocompass software.

I sincerely thank our Director Madam, Ms Chandana Mandal for her

continuous support and encouragement in completing this assignment.

Your valuable suggestions and feedback will help to improve the presentation.

 ADVANTAGES OF ROBOCOMPASS

 The animations are exactly as we do using a physical

straightedge, compass and protractor
 The construction can be viewed any number of times
 A particular step of construction can be viewed to get a better
understanding
 Colourful presentation of arcs and lines will increase interest
among the learner
 Interesting projects can be given to the students

RESTRICTIONS IN ROBOCOMPASS

 Robocompass is free online software. Hence internet connection is

required to view the files designed using Robocompass
 The present edition of Robocompass does not support some
Mathematics Symbols like: , , etc.
 Usually perpendicular bisectors will be denoted by dotted lines.
Robocompass does not support construction of dotted lines.
 Labelling a vertex as A’, B’, A1, B1 is not possible using
Robocompass
 All these restrictions may be removed in the updated versions of
Robocompass
