We make our choices within a world full of diversity and options. The first activity invites you into the multiple worlds of colour and shape, where you will explore kaleidoscopic designs and radial symmetry.

The sets of activities that follow use the eighty varied circles to explore selections and choices in original and creative ways. You will discover the arrangements and patterns that your choices form and how you make these choices. The activities then extend to creating meaningful sequences with the image circles.

The last activity discovers the close relationship between options and choices. You will see how the range of options has an effect upon your selection opportunities as you play ‘Options Lotto’.
