This shapes problem solving resource provides a fun challenge and a stimulus for maths talk. In the first task, children are challenged to find as many rectangles as they can. An extension activity then asks children to make their own rectangle pattern challenge for a partner. The second task asks children how many triangles they can find. The extension task asks the children to make up their own triangle puzzle. The children's own puzzles could be used for a display. N.B. Squared paper and rulers will be needed for the extension tasks.

This looks great for my less able year 5s. Is there an answer or do I have to work it out?
