Classifying Triangles
Triangles can be classified by relationships between line lengths, or line properties; Scalene, Isosceles and Equilateral.
In this 5x60 minutes program, students will identify and reason with relationships between lines and angle properties in triangles to develop a system of classifying triangles. Students will use a variety of tools to visualise, construct, and explain the development of geometric relationships in triangles; ranging from rulers to protractors to Zometool models.
This program is designed to support the learning needs of students in Years 4-6.

Quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals can be classified in a hierarchy, according to their line and angle properties; Parallelograms, Rhombus, Rectangle, Square, Kite and Trapezium.
In this 5x60 minute program, students will identify and reason with relationships between lines and angle properties in quadrilaterals to develop a system of classifying quadrilaterals. Students will use a variety of tools to visualise, construct, and explain the development of geometric relationships in quadrilaterals; ranging from rulers to protractors to Zometool models.

Geometry of Bubbles
Geometric forms can be classified as 2D shapes and 3D solids, including polyhedra.
In this 5x60 minute program, students will learn to seek, identify, and represent patterns to better understand and make predictions about the world around them. Students will use soap films and bubbles to explore the concept of surface area, vertex, edge and face. They will investigate the idea of local minimal surface energy, which is proportional to the smallest area.
This program is designed to support the learning needs of students in Years 7-9.
