Justification of construction methods in middle school textbooks

교과서에서 나타난 작도방법의 정당화

This study is to provide improved teaching methods on classical geometric construction education by a straightedge and compass in school mathematics. In this paper, justifications of construction methods of Korean textbooks, for perpendicular bisector of an segment and angle bisector are discussed, which can be directly applicable to teaching geometric construction meaningfully. Based on these considerations, several implications for desirable teaching methods concerning geometric construction were suggested.
