The analysis of plane geometry principles and associated mathematical underpinnings are the primary focus of this module. With particular reference to Euclid's Elements of Geometry, students will develop a grounded understanding of the principles associated with the construction of plane figures. Students will continue to build spatial visualization, freehand sketching and Computer-Aided Design skills to support both internal dialogue and external communication of geometry. Computer-Aided Design and other digital software will be explored as media to aid in the dynamic communication of plane geometry principles. Building on the study of orthogonal projection and plane geometry principles, students will develop an appreciation for and apply drawing conventions and standards in communicating measured graphical information. In further developing cognitive and psychomotor skills associated with freehand drawing/sketching, the student teacher will begin their skill development in conceptual design communication.

Basic geometric constructions, Euclid and associated mathematical theorems, Construction of plain scales and diagonal scales, Mean proportional, Construction and geometric properties of plane figures, Loci and simple linkages (dynamic movement of plane geometry utilising digital media), Ellipse and parabola as loci, Transformation Geometry, Area of figures, Visual principles of geometric composition: classic proportioning systems including golden section, root rectangles, Fibonacci sequence. Digital media to support the communication of plane geometry principles, Animations, Conventions and Standards, Scaled representation (working drawings and design drawings), Visuo-spatial sketchpad, Memory focused freehand sketching.

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: Describe the underpinning mathematical axioms associated with basic geometric constructions and theorems. Select and apply appropriate geometric principles and constructions when solving plane geometry problems. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles associated with scaled drawings and applied to appropriate geometry and context. Retrieve and externalise graphical information through memory focused freehand drawing activities with specific focus on the visuo-spatial sketchpad. Demonstrate an openness to exploring new and emerging technologies and their educational application. Examine literacy and numeracy, as they relate to curriculum requirements. Explore and appreciate cross-curricular links and themes and how these are related to life experiences. Examine and appreciate current thinking on human development and learning. Interrogate and appreciate important issues related to cyber-ethics including issues of privacy, information security, copyright and on-line safety and understand the complex interplay between technology and society. 

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: Develop an appreciation for the capacity of graphics to solve analytical problems. Appreciate the potential and role of evolving media and technologies to aid in the construction and transfer of meaning in and beyond graphical education. 

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: Demonstrate capability in utilising digital media (using Computer-Aided Design packages and other digital software) to support the communication of plane geometry principles. Apply drawing conventions and standards when graphically communicating measured information. Further develop the ability to externalise graphical information through freehand drawing / sketching and manual drafting techniques. 

The primary focus of this module is to develop students understanding of the underpinning mathematical principles associated with plane geometry. Lecture and lab sessions will be active and participatory with a broad range of media available for students to facilitate the exploration of core principles. Similar to the previous semester, students will continue to build a portfolio of work which will include freehand drawing, measured drawings, virtual models and physical models. Digital media will be introduced in this semester to facilitate students in dynamically exploring and communicating plane geometry principles. The module will be assessed through both summative and formative methods. A portfolio will be utilised to demonstrate the development of analytical problem solving skills associate with plane geometry principles. A terminal examination will assess the knowledge and understanding of the key principles that are central to the content of the module.
