Start with two numbers and generate a sequence where the next number is the mean of the last two numbers...

Imagine you were given the chance to win some money... and imagine you had nothing to lose...

An aluminium can contains 330 ml of cola. If the can's diameter is 6 cm what is the can's height?

Interior angles can help us to work out which polygons will tessellate. Can we use similar ideas to predict which polygons combine to create semi-regular solids?

There are lots of different methods to find out what the shapes are worth - how many can you find?

Can you find the values at the vertices when you know the values on the edges?

Semi-regular tessellations combine two or more different regular polygons to fill the plane. Can you find all the semi-regular tessellations?

Here is a machine with four coloured lights. Can you develop a strategy to work out the rules controlling each light?

Sequences of multiples keep cropping up...

The number in the square is the mean of the four numbers surrounding it. Can you find the missing numbers?
