Shaping Up

Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

Are all the possible combinations of two shapes included in this set of 27 cards? How do you know?

Tri-five

Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

Find all the different shapes that can be made by joining five equilateral triangles edge to edge.

Triangular Hexagons

Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

Investigate these hexagons drawn from different sized equilateral triangles.

Tessellating Transformations

Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

Can you find out how the 6-triangle shape is transformed in these tessellations? Will the tessellations go on for ever? Why or why not?

Triangle Relations

Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

What do these two triangles have in common? How are they related?

Triangle Shapes

Stage: 1 and 2 Challenge Level:

This practical problem challenges you to create shapes and patterns with two different types of triangle. You could even try overlapping them.

Sorting Logic Blocks

Stage: 1 and 2 Challenge Level:

This interactivity allows you to sort logic blocks by dragging their images.

Overlapping Again

Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

What shape is the overlap when you slide one of these shapes half way across another? Can you picture it in your head? Use the interactivity to check your visualisation.

Cut it Out

Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

Can you dissect an equilateral triangle into 6 smaller ones? What number of smaller equilateral triangles is it NOT possible to dissect a larger equilateral triangle into?

LOGO Challenge 5 - Patch

Stage: 3 and 4 Challenge Level:

Using LOGO, can you construct elegant procedures that will draw this family of 'floor coverings'?

Making Maths: Equilateral Triangle Folding

Stage: 2 and 3 Challenge Level:

Make an equilateral triangle by folding paper and use it to make patterns of your own.

LOGO Challenge 6 - Triangles and Stars

Stage: 3 and 4 Challenge Level:

Recreating the designs in this challenge requires you to break a problem down into manageable chunks and use the relationships between triangles and hexagons. An exercise in detail and elegance.

Can You Explain Why?

Stage: 3 Challenge Level:

Can you explain why it is impossible to construct this triangle?
