Inside and Outside

Open and closed lines, and what is inside, outside or on the boundary, as plain lines, fences or map borders.

The first ideas of space. Find the closed lines and the open ones, colour the region inside a closed line and sort what is inside, outside or on the boundary, or draw a closed line round each group of pictures. The line can be drawn plainly, as a fence round a field, or as a border on a map, so the same page serves geometry and geography.
