Construct - GCSE Maths Definition

In GCSE Maths, the term "construct" refers to the accurate drawing of shapes, angles, and lines using specific tools like a ruler, compass, and protractor. When you construct a shape, you follow certain steps to ensure it is precise and meets the given requirements, such as making sure two sides are equal or an angle is exactly a certain degree. Constructing helps you understand the properties and relationships of shapes more deeply, as you are involved in creating them instead of just looking at them. It’s important to use the right tools and techniques to ensure your constructions are correct and neatly drawn.
