Use 11 sticks of equal length to make this triangle with edge lengths 2, 4 and 5. You might like to record this as (2, 4, 5). How many other triangles can you make with 11 sticks?
You could use paper sticks, toothpicks, or a piece of string with […]
Look at the picture where 7 copies of the bull’s head fit together without any spaces between them. Imagine this pattern extending to infinity. This is called a tessellation or wallpaper pattern. There are only 17 ways that shapes can be repeated to fill the plane.
Graph 1 is the graph y=sinx. Can you identify the coordinates of the points where it crosses the axes and where it reaches its maximum and its minimum values?
How could I make graph 2 from graph 1? Can you work out the equation of graph 2?
Graph 3 has equation y=sin2x. […]
The picture shows some shadows cast by solid (3 dimensional) objects as well as some flat (2 dimensional) shapes.
Describe 3D objects that could have made these shadows. There is more than one answer for each shadow.
Can you draw different shadows that could be made by the same objects?
What sort of shadows […]

Can you find a way to fold a sheet of paper so that you can cut out the tangram pieces accurately […]
Investigate what happens if you reflect the blue flag in Mirror 1, then reflect that image in Mirror 2.
Do you get the same results for the red flag if you reflect it first in Mirror 2 then reflect that image in Mirror 1?
You might like to copy the […]
