Below are excellent demonstrations on most of the constructions - well worth a look. Just concentrate on being able to do each construction. Each pagealso has a lot of extra information explaining why the constructions work but it is probably a bit advanced for first year.
The links to individual pages are listed below.

- Bisect an Angle Active Maths 1 p.184
- Perpendicular Bisector a Line Segment Active Maths 1 p.186
- Perpendicular to a line through a point on the line using a compass. Active Maths 1 p.188
- Parallel to a line through a given point using a compass. Active Maths 1 p.191
- Line segment of a given length. This construction is mainly used to copy a line segment without measuring it. Active Maths 1 p.195-6
- Construct a given angle - this is just using your protractor!
- Divide a Line Segment into Three or More Equal Segments there is an animation here. The video below shows you how to do this construction. The original PowerPoint is much clearer and can be downloaded here (requires PowerPoint 2010 or later). Active Maths 1 p.194
- This video shows you a quick way to draw parallel lines using a set square.
The first five animations come from this website
