### Lying and Cheating

Follow the instructions and you can take a rectangle, cut it into 4 pieces, discard two small triangles, put together the remaining two pieces and end up with a rectangle the same size. Try it!

### How Far Does it Move?

Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the red dot affects the distance it travels at each stage.

### Up and Across

Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects its vertical and horizontal movement at each stage.

# How Steep Is the Slope?

#### The gradient of a line tells us how far up or down we go when we take one step to the right:

On a grid like the one below we can draw lines through two points with different gradients.
Check you agree that the blue line is one of several that could be drawn with a gradient of 2 and the red line is one of several that could be drawn with a gradient of $-\frac{2}{3}$

Picture some more lines with different gradients. You may want to use this sheet to record your working.
