Playing around with shapes and spaces enhances your spatial ability. This unit includes tasks which look at patterns when multiple shapes are put together: pentominoes, other-ominoes, lots of triangles, lots of squares, lots of different shapes embedded in a single form. Then it looks at tessellations, tiling and the more complex reptiles. We end up exploring the very strange space of the Koch Curve. You will be drawing and colouring and finding geometry everywhere!
