Quadrilaterals game


Triangles to tetrahedra

Shady symmetry

Hexy-metry

The spider and the fly

Shapely pairs
A game in which players take it in turns to turn up two cards. If they can draw a triangle which satisfies both properties they win the pair of cards. And a few challenging questions to follow...

Square it
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.

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

Property chart
A game in which players take it in turns to try to draw quadrilaterals (or triangles) with particular properties. Is it possible to fill the game grid?

Which solids can we make?
Interior angles can help us to work out which polygons will tessellate. Can we use similar ideas to predict which polygons combine to create semi-regular solids?

Constructing triangles
Generate three random numbers to determine the side lengths of a triangle. What triangles can you draw?

On the edge
If you move the tiles around, can you make squares with different coloured edges?

Isosceles triangles
Draw some isosceles triangles with an area of $9$cm$^2$ and a vertex at (20,20). If all the vertices must have whole number coordinates, how many is it possible to draw?

Marbles in a box
How many winning lines can you make in a three-dimensional version of noughts and crosses?

Cuboids
Can you find a cuboid that has a surface area of exactly 100 square units. Is there more than one? Can you find them all?
