A short investigation to find the number of ways the net of a tetrahedron can be coloured using four different colours only once. The unit is split into three sections: How many ways can the net of a tetrahedron be coloured using four different colours only once? How many ways can the net of a tetrahedron be coloured if rotations aren’t allowed? How many ways can a 3D tetrahedron be coloured using four different colours only once?

This is a colour-mixing activity. It shows pupils what happens when they mix the primary colours red, yellow and blue. Pupils drag and drop colours into a colour-mixing machine that mixes the colours and makes the appropriate secondary colour. Pupils learn the basic colour theory and the terminology 'primary' and 'secondary' colours. They then apply their knowledge to a simple colouring-in exercise where they have a palette of primary colours that they use to make the secondary colours. Follow-up activities using paints have been suggested for pupils to explore colour mixing first hand.
