Teaching Award winner Jonny Heeley uses an activity-filled lesson about polygons to inspire a group of gifted and talented KS2 pupils.
With an emphasis on pupil participation, Jonny explores the definition of a polygon before helping them produce their own squares, triangles and hexagons.
Pupils then calculate the inside angles of these polygons, allowing them to create tessellated patterns using a variety of different polygons.
Finally, Jonny invites the pupils to help him make a success of his tile shop by creating a number of tessellated tile designs for his customers.

watched this as part of a PGCE pre lecture task and I think it is fab! So engaging whilst being full of information, the children's faces tell you whether or not they are learning.
This is great, I'm going to try the hexagon & triangle folding activities with Y5 next week. Thank you.
Does anyone know where I can get hold of these magnetic polygons? Great video Jonny!
Thank you for sharing an excellent resource.
