This activity uses an advert from the 2019 Superbowl to explore permutations and combinations.

Explore the work of Victor Vasarely and optical illusions using isometric drawing.

Create a simple illusion using only black and white and parallel lines.

Fractals allow us to challenge our notion of infinity while drawing some beautiful shapes. This activity explores Koch’s Curve and the Sierpinski Triangle.

Geometry beyond 3D can become amazing very quickly. Explore spheres beyond 3D, and what happens when you pack them inside cubes.

This set of three presentations takes students through making the basic units for the dodecahedron and instructions for creating the dodecahedron using post-its. The third presentation explores the graph theory behind the creation of a three colour dodecahedron.

These two presentations take students through creating units which can make up other shapes. There are detailed instructions to make a cube or a stellated octahedron in the second presentation.

Your students can explore the world of stellated shapes using ruler and compasses – or GeoGebra if they have computer access.
