World of Tan 7 - Gat Marn

• complete the silhouette of the 'Gat Marn' plaque as last seen;
• work out the full cost of the plaque, not including green baize, if the cost of the square was 100 US dollars;
• design a poss ible replacement - but it must have at least one line of symmetry.

• make a collection of company logos and discuss the shapes that are contained therein;
• find what countries share a border with China;
• find out about the currency used in China and those of the neighbouring countries.

• develop the ideas of symmetry a little more deeply. Can tangrams be arranged with 1,2 or more lines of symmetry? Can arrangements have rotational symmetry?
• consider the role of symmetry in the design of goods and materials.
• explore some of the phrases in italics used in the story and try to replace with alternatives.
• consider other words that could be used to describe the emotional conditions that Grandma T and Mr. Cheung found themselves in.
