2D Shapes

Explore the world of 2-D geometry using Mathomat.

Regular polygons have enormous potential for creative design work, such as the tessellations that we explore using Mathomat. These activities develop an understanding of the underlying patterns in creative design. This gives insight into the physical world, and it builds confidence in classroom geometry and problem solving.
