That is too much second guessing. I mean... it's correct. I didn't say what kind of geometry or if this is on a plane. But ... that's too much.

Is there a name for when someone thinks they are really bad at something (for example math) and they have learned not to trust their own intuition at all so they make really wild errors by second guessing themselves? -
Is there a name for when someone thinks they are really bad at something (for example math) and they have learned not to trust their own intuition at all so they make really wild errors by second guessing themselves?That's interesting. I *also* have no sense of left or right. "you injured your left leg which one still hurts?"
But, this has always been a secret advantage in mathematics since seeing patterns backwards happens as fast as forwards.
I don't mind doing measurements but here is another shot at avoiding it:
An isosceles triangle is a pendulum. The distances are the same because it's the same string. If a pendulum could swing all the way around it would make a circle.

If they go top/bottom the text will be upside down.
So "flip it so the edge with the text is *still* near you but the lighter side of the board is on top" maybe?
The "left right" makes me think of rotating since with 90 degree turns left and right matter?

That sounds like so much work to me.
If you want someone with two parts that are the same length that start at the same point they have to be on a circle. No need to measure anything.

OK pizza good to know.
Anyway. Connecting the center of a circle to two points like that is a great way to create an angle. When you copy an angle you are just cutting two pizza slices that are the same.
If the pizzas are the same size, and the distance between the points on the circle is the same. The angle at the top (center) is the same.

EXACTLY!
The legs of the compass are the same length (roughly) so it makes an isosceles triangle.

OK now I'm confused what you have done. This is what I was expecting. But, people always surprise me.

Great use the center and the circle to make a pointy triangle.

Ok but try.

OK let me try this one:
How would you use a compass to make a very pointy isosceles triangle like a wizard's hat? For a quilt or something.

I've tried pointing out that it's basically copying a triangle too. You are duplicating the length of all three sides and thus you get the angle for free.
It's "Side Angle Side" ... but that seems maybe more confusing than just doing it a few times and feeling how well it works.

My fifth graders are making books in craft and tech class.Signatures are the name for the sections of a book in this context.

The student happens to be really good at memorizing things. And thinking back when a problem is rotated it really throws her.
Maybe we can work on doing things like first rotating the paper to a familiar position.

We could go with greek letters rather than numbers but I have tried this and students find it more confusing than the numbers.
I don't really think the issue this student has is due to labeling.

But I do think it's more clear than using three letters since the vertex is repeated and stands out a bit more.

"The whole thing where you use them to make angles is deep magic that only wizards can perform."
I've noticed that the angle construction is harder for students. Not just this one who's having extra difficulty, but all of them are a little mystified when I say "now we'll copy an angle" but there is some good intuitive geometry in this construction.
A compass isn't just for making circles. It's a fixed distance you can put wherever you want.

If I flip a board "l-r" will the result be different than "r-l" ?
The way I'm picturing this the answer would be "no" right?

Is there a name for when someone thinks they are really bad at something (for example math) and they have learned not to trust their own intuition at all so they make really wild errors by second guessing themselves?We use the numbers consistently because I find using three letters is more confusing for most students.
eg ∠ABC = ∠BCA
vs. ∠3 = ∠2
Which do you find less confusing?
We could also do ∠B = ∠C but naming angles by single letter is a bad habit since there can be multiple angles at a vertex.
