In this feature we offer two groups of tasks which focus on geometry.
In the first group, you will find tasks which will help you embed the aims of the primary National Curriculum into geometrical contexts. The second group contains tasks which will help you support geometrical strands of the curriculum using a problem-solving approach.
The article gives more detail about the two groups and explains why we have selected each task.
