Treasure Hunt
Diamond Collector
Collect as many diamonds as you can by drawing three straight lines.
How far does it move?
Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects the distance it travels at each stage.
Parallel lines
Reflecting Lines
Translating Lines
How steep is the slope?
On the grid provided, we can draw lines with different gradients. How many different gradients can you find? Can you arrange them in order of steepness?
Speeding up, slowing down
Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects its speed at each stage.
Route to infinity
Fill Me Up
Can you sketch graphs to show how the height of water changes in different containers as they are filled?
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.
