Exploring Mathematics on Dotty Grids

In this feature, we invite you to explore mathematical ideas on dotty grids. We've offered you a few starting points which we hope will stimulate your curiosity and lead you to pose and solve interesting mathematical questions of your own.

Drawing Polygons 
Age 11 to 16

I wonder which polygons we can draw on dotty paper...

Exploring Area 
Age 11 to 16

I wonder what we can find out about the areas of polygons drawn on dotty grids...

Exploring Coordinates and Vectors 
Age 11 to 16

I wonder what we can find out when using coordinates and vectors on dotty grids...

Exploring Distance 
Age 11 to 16

I wonder what we can find out about distances along grid lines...
