Rangoli patterns -investigating shapes used in religion, eg Jewish Star of David, Christian cross, Islamic star and crescent.
Engage in increasingly challenging problem solving activities.
Noticing naturally occurring mathematical forms eg in snowflakes and honeycombs.
Is it correct to say that a circle is a 2D shape with an infinite number of sides? (no, because a 2D shape must be formed with straight lines, but if it has enough sides it will look like a circle.
Every piece of land in the UK has its area recorded with the Land Registry this is to prevent people from claiming land which is not theirs, e.g. by moving a boundary fence.
Class activity involving co-operation and support to find the area and perimeter of the classroom.
The number pi (3.14159) is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and has been represented by the Greek letter π since the mid 18th century.
