8 engaging and fascinating posters about real-life circles and spheres. When designing these posters I thought of the stereotypical maths poster (full of words, numbers & boring diagrams) and made the exact opposite. Students actually look at and ask questions about these posters! High quality images for printing as large wall displays (7200 x 6000 px JPEG format). Contact me for the original PSD/TIF files.

Colourful, engaging and encourages critical thinking. One of my favourite resources.
