These activities will encourage you to think flexibly about shape, position and movement (geometry).
'Thinking flexibly' could mean, for example, that you try another way when you get stuck. Perhaps you realise that a task can have more than one solution. Perhaps you check a solution using a different method; or perhaps you think flexibly to create a new problem like one you have just tried.
