Resources

This book contains a collection of geometric puzzles, selected so none are too difficult for the non-mathematician to solve, but at the same time, remain challenging. They are all clearly set and answers are provided at the back of the book.

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 all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Geometric Origami reveals some of the rich mathematics inherent in paper folding, and will help origamists, mathematicians and interested general reader appreciate the value of studying the geometrical properties of...

Geometric Patterns

This resource contains many examples of different kinds of geometric pattern. The introduction begins with border patterns; simple patterns which are easily reproduced by students.

This is followed by examples of tile patterns. Geometric patterns 3 to 6 are concerned with cyclotomy; the division of a circle...

Robert Field has travelled extensively and has taken his camera and a keen eye with him wherever he has gone. Many people will be both suprised and delighted by the sheer number and variety of...

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...
