Talk:Geometry for Elementary School/Constructing a triangle

This module needs to be rewritten with the usual method of doing it (ie. drawing arcs and using a protractor) rather than this overly complicated one. Also, the proofs and verifications should be left out as they are unsuitable for children. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 07:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

You can't use a protractor in a construction. This is a straightforward construction based on techniques presented earlier in the book. What do you believe is unsuitable about the proof? It simply explains that the three copies of the lines are the same length as their originals and that the length of the sides of the triangle are the same as the length of the copies. I don't see the point in showing a child how to do the construction without actually explaining why it works. 69.129.65.62 (talk) 20:19, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
