Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects its speed at each stage.

Imagine we have four bags containing numbers from a sequence. What numbers can we make now?

How well can you estimate 10 seconds? Investigate with our timing tool.

Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects its vertical and horizontal movement at each stage.

Players take it in turns to choose a dot on the grid. The winner is the first to have four dots that can be joined to form a square.

Can you find the values at the vertices when you know the values on the edges?

Can you find the pairs that represent the same amount of money?

Semi-regular tessellations combine two or more different regular polygons to fill the plane. Can you find all the semi-regular tessellations?

Here is a chance to play a fractions version of the classic Countdown Game.

Draw some quadrilaterals on a 9-point circle and work out the angles. Is there a theorem?

Here is a machine with four coloured lights. Can you develop a strategy to work out the rules controlling each light?

Players take it in turns to choose a dot on the grid. The winner is the first to have four dots that can be joined to form a parallelogram.

Mr McGregor has a magic potting shed. Overnight, the number of plants in it doubles. He'd like to put the same number of plants in each of three gardens, planting one garden each day. Can he do it?

Can you make sense of these three proofs of Pythagoras' Theorem?

How did the the rotation robot make these patterns?

Players take it in turns to choose a dot on the grid. The winner is the first to have four dots that can be joined to form a rhombus.

Can you decide whether two lines are perpendicular or not? Can you do this without drawing them?

Can you find the values at the vertices when you know the values on the edges of these multiplication arithmagons?

Ask a friend to choose a number between 1 and 63. By identifying which of the six cards contains the number they are thinking of it is easy to tell them what the number is.

Can you work out which spinners were used to generate the frequency charts?
