CuraCourseWhat this block does
Graph Construction lets students create a mathematical construction on a board. The configured mode determines which tools the exercise uses: points, lines and segments, circles, curves, geometry, a unit circle, or function graphs.
Set up the board
- Insert Graph Construction and write the instructions.
- Choose the mode that fits the task.
- Configure the starting board and any given objects. Set bounds, grid, axes, and snapping for the problem.
- Save a correct solution board. Add alternative solution boards if there are several acceptable constructions.
- Set the matching tolerance and choose whether extra objects are ignored.
- Set the points. When a Manual Score criterion is present, configure the graph-matching points separately if needed.
Example: two points define a line
Ask students to construct the line through two given points. Include those points on the starting board and save the intended line in a solution board. Check a slightly misplaced answer with your chosen tolerance before assigning the activity. Decide whether extra construction objects should count against the answer.
Grading behavior
Saved solution boards are alternatives: an answer can match any configured solution. An empty solution list disables automatic graph matching. Add a manual score when the construction needs instructor judgment rather than an automatic match.
Troubleshooting
If nothing is automatically graded, check that a solution has been saved. If near-correct constructions fail, inspect the tolerance and snapping. If an otherwise correct construction fails after students add working objects, check the extra-objects setting.
