Compass homework

If students do not already have a compass (math set), it would be beneficial for them to purchase one this weekend. We will be using them in the construction of geometric shapes in math. The homework I have assigned for this weekend is for students to play around with their compass to get used to using it. Students should spend some time trying to draw lots of circles and arcs with them, maybe doodles or art, so that they become familiar with using their new tool.
