This challenge invites you to create your own picture using just straight lines. Can you identify shapes with the same number of sides and decorate them in the same way?

This activity focuses on similarities and differences between shapes.

Can you help the children in Mrs Trimmer's class make different shapes out of a loop of string?

Here are four cubes joined together. How many other arrangements of four cubes can you find? Can you draw them on dotty paper?

Here are the six faces of a cube - in no particular order. Here are three views of the cube. Can you deduce where the faces are in relation to each other and record them on the net of this cube?

Where can you put the mirror across the square so that you can still "see" the whole square? How many different positions are possible?

Here are some pictures of 3D shapes made from cubes. Can you make these shapes yourself?

This task develops spatial reasoning skills. By framing and asking questions a member of the team has to find out what mathematical object they have chosen.

The ancient Egyptians were said to make right-angled triangles using a rope with twelve equal sections divided by knots. What other triangles could you make if you had a rope like this?

What does the overlap of these two shapes look like? Try picturing it in your head and then use some cut-out shapes to test your prediction.

What shape is the overlap when you slide one of these shapes half way across another? Can you picture it in your head? Use the interactivity to check your visualisation.
