Term 2 Week 1

15th century (made up) depiction of Euclid

Welcome back to maths in term 2!

Geometrical Figures is our new topic.

Over the next week students should be able to name different types of angles, and solve geometric puzzles by using the properties of angles, triangles and parallel lines.

Much of this was put together by the Greek mathemtician Euclid about 2300 years ago. Euclid's approach was to work from a small number of foundational 'facts' (called 'axioms') and solve problems by using logic and reason to build answers by combining the axioms.
