Shapes and Space

This excellent ActivBoard flipchart includes 15 Mathematical activities to teach the subject of shapes and space.

It covers a wide range of areas such as transformations & reflections, the properties of shapes and using quadrilaterals. Three thumbs up!

The flipchart can be found here:

Sorting Symmetries

Naomi has a triangle which is blue on one side and yellow on the other. It has a dot in one corner on each side.

How many ways are there of posting this triangle through a triangular shaped slot?
