More Geoboards Upper Primary

Once you have had a go at the activities in our Geoboards feature, why not try these which will help you explore further?

Tri.'s

Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level Yellow star

How many triangles can you make on the 3 by 3 pegboard?

More Transformations on a Pegboard

Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level Yellow starYellow star

Use the interactivity to find all the different right-angled triangles you can make by just moving one corner of the starting triangle.

Making Squares

Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level Yellow starYellow starYellow star

Investigate all the different squares you can make on this 5 by 5 grid by making your starting side go from the bottom left hand point. Can you find out the areas of all these squares?

Quadrilaterals

Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level Yellow starYellow starYellow star

How many DIFFERENT quadrilaterals can be made by joining the dots on the 8-point circle?

Triangles All Around
