These tasks all have one thing in common - they focus on geometry. But what exactly do we mean by 'geometry'? Well, it might be knowing about different kinds of shapes and being able to describe them; it could be about sorting shapes. Geometry also involves understanding turning (or angles) and pattern.
We hope you enjoy having a go at these tasks, which will make use of your problem-solving skills as well as your geometrical skills!
