What to do

  • Get ready to make your own spirolaterals!

  • Write down 3 different sets of numbers that have an odd amount (for example, 1, 4, 2; 7, 5, 3; and 1, 5, 2, 4, 3. It doesn’t matter if the numbers themselves are odd or even – just how many numbers you have.

  • Write down 3 different sets of numbers that have an even amount (for example, 1, 4; 5, 6, 1, 2; and 8,7)

  • Draw the different spirolaterals!

  • What do you notice about your spirolaterals? Record what are noticing.

When you’re ready, watch the next video to see what to do next.
