 * Process:
 * 1) The teacher can project the geogebra file, move the red dot and ask the students if it still is a square.
 * 2) Let them reason out for the answers.
 * Developmental Questions:
 * 1) What figures do you see ?
 * 2) On moving the red dot, what figure is it now ?
 * 3) Is it still a square ?
 * Evaluation:
 * 1) What are the properties of a square ?
 * Question corner:
 * 1) Is rectangle a square ?
 * 2) Is parallelogram a square ?
 * 3) Are all squares parallelograms ?
 * 4) Can a square be considered as a type of kite ?
 * 5) Differentiate a square and a rhombus.

Learning objectives

 * 1) The students learn that the four sides of a square are equal.
 * 2) They understand that the adjacent sides are at right angles with each other.
 * 3) The area of a square is side x side sq units.
 * 4) The perimeter of a square is the length of distance around its boumdary which is 4 times its side.

 * Estimated Time: 20 minutes.
 * Materials/ Resources needed:
 * 1) Laptop, geogebra file, projector and a pointer.
 * Prerequisites/Instructions, if any
 * 1) The students should have prior knowledge of lines and measurements.
 * Multimedia resources: Laptop
 * Website interactives/ links/ / Geogebra Applets :
 * Process:
 * 1) The teacher can project the geogebra file and explain about the formula for area and perimeter of a square.
 * Developmental Questions:
 * 1) Identify the shape ?
 * 2) What is the measure of each small square ?
 * 3) What is the area of each small square ?
 * 4) What is the area of the bigger square ?
 * 5) What is the perimeter of the small square ? and larger square ?
 * Evaluation:
 * 1) What do you understand by the terms area and perimeter ?
 * Question Corner:
 * 1) How do you find the area and perimeter of an irregular shape ?
 * 2) Explain the association of the term 'square' in the unit square cm.

Learning objectives

 * 1) Construction of a perfect square.
 * 2) Use of equal radius arcs to get equal sides of a square in the construction protocol.
 * 3) Use of perpendicular lines to draw sides of a square.

Activity No # 1. Constructing a square.
This activity has been taken from the website :http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT668/EMAT6680.2000/Mylod/Math7200/Project/Square.html
 * Estimated Time :40 minutes
 * Materials/ Resources needed : White paper, compass, pencil and scale.
 * Prerequisites/Instructions, if any:
 * 1) The students should know a square and its properties.
 * 2) They should know a circle and that all its radii are equal in length.
 * 3) They should have the skill of drawing a circle.
 * 4) They should know to draw perpendicular lines.
 * Multimedia resources
 * Website interactives/ links/ / Geogebra Applets:
 * Process:


 * 1) To construct a square of a given length, draw a line segment AB of given length.
 * 2) Draw perpendicular to the line AB at A.
 * 3) Taking AB as radius draw a circle with A as centre.
 * 4) The circle intersects the perpendicular at a point. Name the intersecting point as C.
 * 5) Similarly draw perpendiculars to AC at C. You get third side of the square.
 * 6) To get the fourth side of the square construct a perpendicular to AB at B.
 * 7) Name the two intersecting perpendiculars as D.
 * 8) ABCD would be the required square.
 * Developmental Questions:
 * 1) For what measure are you drawing a square ?
 * 2) What is a perpendicular line ?
 * 3) Why are we constructing perpendicular lines for constructing a square ?
 * 4) What is the purpose of drawing a circle ?
 * 5) How do we determine the fourth vertex of the square ?
 * Evaluation:
 * 1) What are perpendicular lines ?
 * 2) Why is a circle being drawn ? Which purpose would it solve ?
 * Question Corner
 * 1) Can a square be constructed without using a compass ?
