1. Flag Fractions
EQUIPMENT: Mixed Lego Blocks
Here is the maths. It’s fractions. It’s simple.
……………….. 
…………………………………………………
A. National Flag of Comotosia
They’re a bit sleepy in Comotosia so you better design a flag to wake them up, mathspigs.
The flag must measure …………. 6 blocks x 12 blocks.
One block is a 4 bumps blocks (See pic). An 8 bumps block equals 2 blocks.
Here’s the catch, mathpiggies. 1/4 of the blocks in the flag must be RED.
How will you do this? (Hint below)

.B. National Flag of Bordom
Once again the Bordonians need a lively flag.
The flag must measure 6 blocks by 12 blocks, but this time it must contain 1/4 red and 1/3 blue. How do you do this?
Hint: Mathspigs! You will have to count the number of red and blue blocks.
2. Design A National Flag to Lego Scale
First, name your Lego man, girl or alien and pick a name for their country, planet or crypt.
You will be drawing two flags.
All national flags are rectangles except Switzerland and Tibet, which have square flags but not at the Olympic Games.
Olympic Flags measure: 150 cm x 90 cm
or …………………………….. 60 inches x 35 inches.
These sizes are not equal so which flag is bigger the decimal flag or the Imperial Units flag?
The Imperial units flag is 152.9 cm x 88.9 cm. It turns out the area of the Decimal flag is 13,500 cm2 and the Imperial Flag 13,593 cm2 .
You will be designing a decimal flag.
Note the Flag ratio of length: width = 150 : 90
…………………………………………………… = 15 : 9 = 5: 3
First design a flag with 5: 3 ratio. One measuring 10cm x 6 cm would be ideal.
