Bryneven Primary offers Grade 5 students a lesson on October 14th: analyzing the properties of moving shapes, such as color, number of sides, angle of motion, and so on. We explore this by using Purple Mash's Shapes.  We encourage students to experiment - which is the basis of training (experience) to create their own. This comes by doing the challenges of the activity.

We use a button, a timer control to control these functions. This creates a scintillating movement of changing shapes crossing the screen. We do this using the random function to let the computer make the necessary changes.
