A centre for ants!?
A clip from the movie “Zoolander”. Consider for use as an introduction to Scale.
A Tangled Web, practise solving angles
Help Itzi the spider climb the clock to rescue his family! Solve cunning angle puzzles to reveal a path through each level’s maze of tangled webs and reach the goal. It’s sure to make your head spin!
- Basic angle rules
- Parallel lines
- Polygons
- Circle theorems
Airplane infront of the moon
WCYDWT? This image is a great stimulus to build a similar triangle problem. Students could use the internet to find out various dimensions and demonstrate or calculate a missing variable such as: how high was the plane flying. See also http://www.iceinspace.com.au/iotw.html?iotwid=137 and forum for more details. Could load image into GeoGebra for more accurate modelling.
Alphabet Geometry - Transformations
Definition and demonstrations of rotation, reflection and translation.

Angle Measure
“An interactive whiteboard resource to demonstrate the measuring of angles to a class.”
Angle Sum of Triangle using your IWB
How to instructions to set up a fun angle sum of triangles activity on your Interactive White Board. Students love building the triangles once they have seen you do it once and will try many different triangles to test the idea. Easy to extend to quadrilaterals.
