TRANSCRIPT
Draw a circle on a 12”x12” paper
Use a ruler and draw 1 vertical and 1 horizontal diameter line to make a “plus sign”
Rotate your paper to turn your “plus” sign into an “X”
Use a ruler and draw 1 vertical and 1 horizontal diameter line to make another “plus sign”
Draw a smaller circle with the same focus or center as the large circle
Make a mark outside the diameter lines that make an “X”
Use the marked diameter points as vertices for a square
Mark the other four diameter lines
Use these diameter points as vertices for a second square
Mark each point that touches the perimeter of the smaller circle with a dot (make your dots smaller than mine!)
Mark every other line that hits the perimeter of the squares (I marked mine in blue)
Use a ruler, and draw a line connecting a dot on the square to a dot on the circle
