Transition Competition
Transition Competition - Aims• Introduce Learners to the artistic side of Mathematics,
• Through investigating geometric shapes learn new skills,
• Take part in a competition and maybe win a prize,
• Forge closer links with Calder High and reduce the stress with the kids as they transition to secondary. Their entries will be displayed in school.
Transition Competition – How to enter• You will need to provide resources, coloured paper, scissors, glue and a
sheet of A3 to mount your winning entry,
• Contained with in this PowerPoint are the instructions on how to construct a number of shapes using origami,
• Use, within your school, the shapes to construct a picture,
• Send the best picture from your school to Calder to be entered into the main competition.
Maths is beautiful!!
• You can watch the video (please request)
or
• Use the following slides (they will auto advance with music)

The Art of Maths
Constructing Geometric Shapes
• You can watch the video (please request)
or
• Use the following slides
(they will NOT auto advance)
Start with a rectangular piece of paper
Fold in half
Open out again
Fold both edges into the middle
Open out again
Now for the really tricky bit….
… and you need to be precise
From the centre,
fold to the crease
See this crease here
Same the other side
Now rotate the paper 180º
And fold up You want this edge to
line up
And the other side
Turn it over and we have….
a rhombus
Properties of a rhombus?
Two pairs of parallel sides
Properties of a rhombus?
Equal sides
Properties of a rhombus?
Equal angles
Properties of a rhombus?
These two angles add to 180º
These properties mean that this shape will tessellate
From the rhombus, how can we make an equilateral triangle?
Fold in half
If this is equilateral, what should each angle measure?
60º
60º 60º
From the rhombus how can we make a hexagon?
Fold the two sides into the centre
Properties of a regular hexagon?
Equal sides
Properties of a regular hexagon?
Equal angles
What should each angle measure?
Equal angles - 120º
From the hexagon, how can we make an isosceles trapezium?
Fold it in half
Properties of a trapezium?
One pair of parallel sides
Properties of a trapezium?
These two angles add to 180º
From this…..
…to these
Competition instructions
• Create some Maths Art using only accurately constructed geometrical shapes
• Using the shapes you make by folding the paper as shown in the video.
• Stick them to your A3 sheet and produce a picture covering a theme.
• There are some examples that follow of previous years work.
The Theme of Space
Under the Sea
The Theme of The Wild
