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?

Make enlargements of the coloured shapes by fitting together four identical smaller shapes.
How much longer are the edges (the linear scale factor of the enlargement)?
How much bigger is the area (the area scale factor of the enlargement)?
Now look at the illustration of the 3-dimensional solids. One is […]
What do you know about robots? What are drones? Are driver-less cars actually robots? What do you think about robots that move around warehouses to pick up and carry loads from place to place or control complicated machinery in factories? What do you think about robots that mow lawns and clean floors?

Find some sticks, they could be twigs, or matchsticks or cocktail sticks, or rolled paper sticks, or pasta like spaghetti broken into short lengths, but they must all be the same length.
Arrange 16 sticks into this pattern.
As an easy starter, can you remove 4 sticks and leave […]
What do you notice about this diagram.
Draw the diagram accurately starting with a regular pentagon.
Find all the angles in the diagram.
Label 4 sets of congruent triangles. Which triangles are similar?
Describe the symmetries of the shape (that is the transformations that map the shape onto itself).
Describe the symmetries […]
The wall painting on the house in this photo shows geometric transformations: reflections, rotations and translations. The symmetries of a design are the transformations that leave the pattern looking exactly the same.
Assume that the parts of the design that look the same are identical and that they only appear different because […]
