I started with a game of squares (sneaking in negative numbers), we completed the lesson up to the triangle demonstration which everyone completed using a piece of A4. I was surprised at how taken impressed some of the pupils were that the two cut pieces fitted exactly on top of the triangle.
Next lesson we will start with a bit of 3D drawing on isometric paper (drawing small shapes made of blocks) which will give us a lead in to surface area (I hope)
