Counter Grid is an investigation into the different totals that can be made by addition...

While these activities from Polygon Resources focus largely on line symmetry, some lead on to rotational symmetry. Although much of the work in this booklet relates to two dimensional shapes, there are opportunities to extend into three dimensions. The need to think of planes of symmetry rather than lines is a way...

This series of booklets from Polygon Resources deal with a range of mathematical topics appropriate for use during Key Stage Two and Three. Although the activities and notes refer to individual attainment targets, the authors make it clear that in their view mathematics is an integrated subject.
