This is a very good resource and the reason I like this lesson is because it offers pupils something different by combining two seperately taught topics of speed/distance/time with polygons. This could be used as an nvestigation to see what happens when the red dot is moved on the different shapes, and can be extended for the more able. The whole lesson even comes with a card sort activity which s great.
