Grid Magic

"Where Maths meets Art". Gridmagic is a graphic design tool specifically aimed at KS2 and KS3 which tackles the difficulty faced in using graphic design packages by dividing the work into five distinct work areas that pupils can easily manage and control. Each of the five work areas provides a stimulating but uncluttered interface designed to work well with interactive whiteboards

Included here are links to specific worksheets especially suitable for pattern making projects. For a comprehensive selection of the most up-to-date worksheets visit the Grid Magic web site
