It involves careful measurement and neatness to ensure the drawings are precise, allowing for accurate solutions to mathematical problems. For example, students might draw graphs to show data trends or create geometrical shapes to solve questions about angles and areas. Being good at drawing in maths means being able to follow instructions accurately and using the right tools correctly to represent mathematical ideas visually.
