Did you know that?

Drawing geometric figures is not as accurate as constructing them. There is more room for mistakes when drawing.

Eliminating the teaching of using the compass and straightedge would create problems for when the knowledge is required from the student.

A lot of studies show that children who know how to use a compass and straightedge early on are more successful then those who did not.

Top reasons why

A study of students' math test scores proves that students should know how to use the compass and straightedge averege higher scores than the students that didn't.

Being able to use a compass and straightedge opens doors to being able to use more complicated tools when doing math.

Using a compass and straightedge will ensure that the geometric figures are always correct.

They are the basis of an axiomatic system, with the goal of ensuring that geometry is built on a solid foundation.
