Question

Make students understand the use of a ruler and compass while drawing geometrical shapes. Guide them properly about how to colour them and show some specimens of designs.

Answer 1

This diagram demonstrates how to use a ruler and compass to draw different geometrical shapes:

1. Circle (Compass): Use a compass to draw a perfect circle.

2. Triangle (Ruler): Use a ruler to connect three points and form a triangle.

3. Square (Ruler): Use a ruler to create four equal sides, forming a square.

4. Hexagon (Compass & Ruler): Use a compass to mark six points on the circle's circumference and connect them with a ruler to form a hexagon.

Colouring Tips:

• Use bright and contrasting colours for each shape to make them stand out.
• Add patterns or gradients inside shapes for variety.
