• Students use a mirror to create complex designs from simple shapes.
• Students make a wide range of complex origami or paper-folding designs, and
investigate the patterns involved. Then, using the information they have found, they
create their own design and write instructions for making it.
• Students build a 3-dimensional model scene. They then translate the scene into a
series of 2-dimensional sketches and discuss them.
• Using cubes to represent rooms by joining them face-to-face, students try to make as
many 4-roomed houses as possible. How many different 5-roomed houses can be
made? Investigate rules for knowing whether all possible arrangements have been
catered for.
