Polyhexes are like polyominoes but made up of hexagons instead. These are activities about these very tessellatable, rotatable and flippable shapes! Challenge On Boarding – How to make a polyhex Find the smaller polyhexes by…

This week’s challenge gives us a way to look at how enlarging shapes and images works. We’re using pixelated images to explore this idea. Challenge On Boarding – 8 x 8 pixelated images Getting key…

This week’s challenge takes a square (that could look a bit like a face (or layer) of a Rubik’s cube and challenges you to notice which moves produce which change in orientation. Challenge On Boarding…

Letters are the shapes that we are most familiar with. We draw them and play with them far more than any other shapes. We recognise them for their properties often, not just the most familiar…
