This title concentrates not on figurative panels but on the geometric borders and patterns with which virtually all Roman floors and corridors were decorated. Robert Field has collected examples from many different...

Bricks and tiles are two of the most universal and ancient building materials and they are able to combine tremendous versatility with the economies and advantages of mass production of standard units...

Geometric progressions

Five squares are given. Each square contains a pattern of squares or triangles that become smaller and smaller until they are infinitely small. The challenge is to work out what fraction of each square is shaded. The challenge provides an introduction to the concept of geometric progressions and the idea of a limit...

Geometric Series

This excel file allows students to explore the successive terms of a Geometric Series. The first term and the common ratio can be altered and the successive terms and sum of the series shown on bar charts. The formula for the sum of a Geometric Series is derived and the...

Geometric Series

This series of interactive excel sheets help investigate geometric series and progressions.

The first sheet generates the terms of a geometric progression, for |r| ≥ 1, and the value of a further term. A new sequence...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

This book provides a comprehensive account of symmetry in a form acceptable to readers without much detailed mathematical knowledge of experience, who nevertheless want to understand the basic...

Geometrical design

This resource helps students to recognise geometrical shapes and their properties.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

Filled with pure patterns and abstract shapes, the 46 all-original designs in this eye-popping collection allow for absolute colouring freedom.

This is a fascinating book for children who enjoy drawing and making patterns with ruler and compasses. The author explains how to draw plane figures - triangles, squares, rectangles, ellipses and the various polygons - and shows how stars with different number of points can be drawn using the principle of a circle...
