1. Draw a circle on a 12”x12” paper

to make a “plus sign”

3. Rotate your paper to turn your “plus” sign into an “X”

4. Use a ruler and draw 1 vertical and 1 horizontal diameter line
to make another “plus sign”

5. Draw a smaller circle with the same focus or center as the
large circle

9. Use these diameter points as vertices for a second square

10. Mark each point that touches the perimeter of the smaller
circle with a dot (make your dots smaller than mine!)

a dot on the circle
