1.1 The square grids below the continuous line depict negative numbers and those above the line positive numbers. Study the square grids shown above with black squares forming a pattern. How is the pattern growing? Create square grids 9, 10 and 11; complete them with black squares to further develop the […]

Each student should have a stage 3 Sierpinski triangle of edge length about 6.5 cm and a colouring pen, and should colour their triangle as shown by the black filling in the small diagram.
The class will make poster of a stage […]
1. If the red square has area 1 square unit. What is the area enclosed by the stage 1 squareflake?
2. What is the area enclosed by the stage 2 squareflake? What about the stages 3 and 4 squareflakes?
3. If replacing each line segment on the edge with the zig-zag is […]
The curve, also known as the ‘snowflake curve’, was invented in 1904 by the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch.
Take a large piece of backing paper, and either draw an equilateral triangle with edges of length 27 cm or cut a triangle from coloured paper and stick it on […]
Can you see what the rule is for filling numbers in the hexagons? Continue the pattern using the same rule. If you get it right the bottom row will start 1, 9, 36, 84, …
Shade the hexagons where the number inside is odd all in one colour. Using a contrasting colour, […]

This square of squares pattern has edge length 5 squares. You could make this pattern with 48 matchsticks.
Work out the number of edge squares and the number of lines (matchsticks) needed to make the pattern with: side length 6, side length 25, side length 100, side length n.
