Arrange the shapes in a line so that you change either colour or shape in the next piece along. Can you find several ways to start with a blue triangle and end with a red circle?
The red ring is inside the blue ring in this picture. Can you rearrange the rings in different ways? Perhaps you can overlap them or put one outside another?
This activity challenges you to make collections of shapes. Can you give your collection a name?
We had just three responses sent in for the Olympic Rings. One from DMW at KJ School who sent in this picture they had created.
The Maths Club at Padnell Junior School in England sent in this idea;
Have all the the rings going in a circle standing for the Olympic O from black to blue to red to yellow to green.
Class 2 at Seal School, Selsey really got their imaginations working and sent some lovely ideas. These are our favourites:
We like the use of different shapes instead of the rings.
Thank you for these and maybe some others will respond later in the year.
