This activity is accessible to a wide variety of pupils. At one level, learners can explore ways of putting the five shapes together by ‘playing’ with hexagon pieces. At a higher level, more experienced or older pupils can be expected to go about the activity in an organised, systematic way. In addition, this problem encourages learners to use visualisation and to apply their understanding of reflective and rotational symmetry. The two pdf files (hexagonal shapes) could be used to introduce the challenge by creating some hexagons to be dragged around the interactive whiteboard screen, or large shapes out of card could be cut and fixed to the board or wall.

A link to a finding possibilities activity on the nrich website to join 5 hexagons to make different shapes. Worksheets with hexagons which can be coloured to make different shapes. The hexagonal paper could also be used in other activities too.

A page of blank hexagons was what I needed. Thanks
