Geometry Construction Basics Practice - Lines & Basic Shapes

Give your students the confidence and precision they need in geometry with this Geometry Construction Basics – Lines & Basic Shapes practice set! This resource guides students step-by-step through five essential straightedge-and-compass constructions: perpendicular lines, parallel lines through a given point, equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons inscribed inside a circle. Each skill page includes clear, simplified instructions paired with multiple practice opportunities, ensuring students not only understand the process but also build the muscle memory to do it independently. A final assessment page allows for self-checking or formal grading, making it versatile for both practice and evaluation.

Perfect for high school geometry, Integrated Math 1, or middle school extension activities, this set helps students slow down, think critically, and understand why each construction works—strengthening their grasp of congruence, symmetry, and spatial reasoning. With alignment to Common Core Standards HSG-CO.D.12 and HSG-CO.D.13, this resource is equally effective for whole-class lessons, small group interventions, or enrichment for students who love hands-on math. All they need is a pencil, straightedge, and compass to bring these classic geometry skills to life!
