Can you draw plans for a building with a compass, a straight edge and a pencil? 200 years ago, our ancestors could. Before the Industrial Revolution our dimensions were not standardized. My foot rule might be a few smidgens longer than yours. Your 90* right angle might not match mine. To work together, we used geometry.

Come draw as our ancestors did, hold tools they used, learn what they knew. Begin with a circle; construct a square without using numbers. You will see how geometry is practical.

The illustrations and diagrams we explore will include the daisy wheel and the Rule of Thirds. After I introduce the ideas your questions and curiosity will direct the session.

Appropriate for ages 10+ (ages 10-18 with parent/guardian). 

Session offered by Jane Griswold Radocchia.
