What you will learn in this activity:

Print the two activity pages in this investigation and use with your Mathomat V7 geometry template and blank paper.

Holding your Mathomat, look at the drawing of each of the triangles in the first activity page one at a time. Carefully look around your Mathomat template until you find the matching triangle. Hold your Mathomat above the drawing of the shape to see how it matches, then read through the description on your worksheet. This will tell you what the shapes name is and important features that you will need for drawing and design work using this triangle. These features include such things as "all the sides are equal" and "all angles have the same magnitude" for the equilateral triangle, shape 5.

Do the same activity for the quadrilaterals on the second activity page.

Doing this activity will familiarise you with the many different and important geometric shapes in your Mathomat that you can use as stencils for design work.
