reSolve – Number chart chess: The Rook
Duration: 8:25
© Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment 2021 and reSolve: chess – The Rook
The rook reflection:
Which squares are impossible to pass through when getting from 78 to 23 in three moves?
The bishop challenge:
In chess, the bishop can only move diagonally. If the bishop starts on 23 and moves just one space:
what numbers might the bishop land on?
does the value of the numbers change for each move?
The rook and the bishop:
What moves does the rook need to make to land on the same squares as the bishop?
In what ways does the value of the numbers change with each move?
In what ways are the moves of the rook similar to and yet different from those of the bishop?
Tessellating triangles
Let's explore tessellating patterns and triangles!
A tessellation (or tiling) is when we cover a surface with a pattern of shapes that fit perfectly together with no overlaps or gaps.
Complete the tessellation activity below.
You will need:
a pencil
your workbook.
Investigate tessellations in your environment. How many different examples can you find?
Use a Frayer model to draw and write what you know about tessellations.
Identify and record shapes you know that can tessellate.
List shapes that can’t tessellate.
Frayer model: tessellation
Watch the video and join in the activities.
You will need:
blank paper
a pencil
your workbook.
Look Kool – tiling
Duration: 21:06
Adapted from the ABC and nrich Maths
Draw a series of equilateral triangles. Make them fit together without any gaps between them.
Can you tessellate an isosceles triangle?
Draw different types of triangles on blank paper and find ways to tessellate them.
Equilateral triangle
Hint! Equilateral triangles have 3 sides that are the same length and 3 angles that are the same.
Isosceles triangle
Hint! Isosceles triangles have 2 sides that are the same length and 2 angles that are the same.
Reflection:
Can all triangles tessellate?
If your answer is no, can you give an example of a triangle which doesn't tessellate and explain why?
Go back to the Frayer model and use a different coloured pencil to show what you have learned about tessellations.
Share your work with your teacher.
