📐 Another Sixth Grade Geometry Construction

Let's keep it going with my favorite block ever!

This week’s video is about how to bisect a line. I talk through some tips for teaching it to your students, so make sure you scroll down to the video (paid subscribers). Below is the main lesson page I had my students create.

Oh, and one thing I just realized. Last week, I showed you how to bisect a line SEGMENT. I don’t think I ever referred to it as a “line segment” in the video but that’s a really important distinction to make. A “line” goes on indefinitely in both directions, so technically there is no midpoint. Only a “line segment” has a midpoint.

And if you’re looking for a good online resource for geometry constructions, I found a lot of great resources, including Math is Fun. And if you want even more support with mapping out the whole block, check out my Grade Six Geometry Curriculum Guide.
