Have a go at making a few of these shapes from paper in different sizes. What patterns can you create?
Can you work out what shape is made when this piece of paper is folded up using the crease pattern shown?
The computer has made a rectangle and will tell you the number of spots it uses in total. Can you find out where the rectangle is?
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 practical activity challenges you to create symmetrical designs by cutting a square into strips.
How many different triangles can you draw on the dotty grid which each have one dot in the middle?
Complete the squares - but be warned some are trickier than they look!
Arrange the shapes in a line so that you change either colour or shape in the next piece along. Can you find several ways to start with a blue triangle and end with a red circle?
Explore ways of colouring this set of triangles. Can you make symmetrical patterns?
Vincent and Tara are making triangles with the class construction set. They have a pile of strips of different lengths. How many different triangles can they make?
