Digital Shape Creation

Dylan, Harper and Cooper are designing a pattern for a rock-pool information sign. Imagine you are using geometry software: plot points, connect them, and use digital tools to inspect and change your shapes. Answer each challenge.

Explore the tools

Think like a careful digital designer.

1.In a shape-making program, a vertex is a point where two sides meet. How many vertices does a rectangle have?
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
2.Dylan plots three points and joins them to make a triangle. Which tool would help her check whether all three sides are the same length?
3.Harper wants an equilateral triangle. Choose the description that fits.
  • Three equal sides and three equal angles
  • Two equal sides and one right angle
  • Four equal sides
  • Three different sides
4.Cooper drags one corner of a digital square sideways. What is most likely to happen if she does not use a tool that keeps the sides and angles equal?

Design and test

Use shape properties to make a pattern that could repeat across a sign.

5.Put these steps in a sensible order by writing the numbers 1–4: ___ connect the points; ___ choose a shape or plotting tool; ___ check the sides and corners; ___ place the points where you want them.
6.A regular pentagon has five equal sides and five equal angles. How many lines of symmetry does it have?
  • 3
  • 5
  • 8
  • 10
7.Squares can tessellate: they fit together with no gaps or overlaps. How many square tiles meet at one corner when a square pattern covers a flat area?
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 6
8.Draw a small plan for a repeating square-tile pattern. Show at least four squares touching without gaps or overlaps.
9.True or false: Rotating a shape changes its size and the number of its sides.
TrueFalse
10.Name two things you could inspect by moving or rotating a shape on screen.
11.A shape tool accidentally makes one side of a square longer than the others. What could you do to fix the design?
