Six balls are shaken. You win if at least one red ball ends in a corner. What is the probability of winning?

Seven balls are shaken. You win if the two blue balls end up touching. What is the probability of winning?

Are these games fair? How can you tell?

A game in which players take it in turns to try to draw quadrilaterals (or triangles) with particular properties. Is it possible to fill the game grid?

A game in which players take it in turns to turn up two cards. If they can draw a triangle which satisfies both properties they win the pair of cards. And a few challenging questions to follow...

Can you find the values at the vertices when you know the values on the edges?

Can you work out what step size to take to ensure you visit all the dots on the circle?

Draw some isosceles triangles with an area of $9$cm$^2$ and a vertex at (20,20). If all the vertices must have whole number coordinates, how many is it possible to draw?

Players take it in turns to choose a dot on the grid. The winner is the first to have four dots that can be joined to form a square.

If you move the tiles around, can you make squares with different coloured edges?
