Summary I am doing an investigation to look at shapes made up of other shapes starting with triangles, then going on squares and hexagons. I will try to find the relationship between the perimeter in cm, dots enclosed and the amount of shapes i.e. triangles etc. used to make a shape. From this, I will try to find a formula linking P perimeter, D dots enclosed and T number of triangles used to make a shape. Later on in this investigation T will be substituted for Q squares and H hexagons used to make a shape. Other letters...
as I could have looked at these along with my triangles, squares and hexagons.

If I were to redo this investigation, I would make sure that I set aside enough time to do a proper job of it, and looking at my own made-up shapes to see if my formulas still applied. I also would have very much liked to have been able to move on to looking at 3D shapes, but doing this means wither physically making paper or card squares / pyramids etc, which is vastly time-consuming, or using multi-cubes, of which I have none.
