This is an investigation for the whole class to do at the same time, investigating the seemingly simple idea of the four corners of a rectangle. It will force pupils to get out of the simple thinking that every rectangle has to be lined up with the co-ordinate axes, with a horizontal base and vertical sides. Full solutions included.

This is a set of six puzzles presented as large scale Power Points. I used them as colour A3 posters for a monthly maths competition. These puzzles are challenging and give the scope for comprehensive answers. Full solutions included.
