Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Pupils create snowflakes using the ideas of symmetry, perpendicularity, and regularity in this Art lesson that incorporates Mathematical concepts and artistic design. The lesson includes a materials list, vocabulary list, and possible...

Learners form repeating patterns using tessellations. For this tessellations lesson, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the lesson which provides extension activities and...

Students create tessellations. In this geometry lesson, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Learners use the Five E method to solve problems. In this Five E lesson, students complete math lessons using the Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate technique. They use the Five E's with lessons on tessellations, magnets,...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to create tessellations. For this tessellations lesson, 4th graders create tessellations from a tessellation web page and define a tessellation. Students find examples of tessellations in their world....

Students view examples of art work that illustrate limits in calculus. Students will lecture on limits and then complete practice drill. This lesson does not include a defined procedure or practice problems. All the art links work but...

Students explore quilting. In this math patterns instructional activity, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.

Students complete an Excel project on tessellations. In this technology and math lesson, students discuss tessellations and their occurrences in nature. Students use the Excel computer program to create tessellations.

Learners explore the concept of patterns. For this patterns lesson, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Learners predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

In this tessellations worksheet, students identify shapes such as hexagons, octagons and other regular polygons and determine if the shapes will tessellate. They explore why some regular polygons tessellate while others do not. This...

In this tessellation activity, students explore tessellations and create a pattern without overlaps or spaces. After creating the tessellation, they color the shapes. This one-page activity contains dot paper for ease in creating a...

In this tessellations and transformations learning exercise, 10th graders solve 9 different problems that include various types of tessellations. First, they write examples from history of tessellations and name 3 artists. Then, students...

In this polygons and angles worksheet, 10th graders complete 5 different questions related to polygons and angles, in addition to symmetry and transformations. First, they define polygon and how they are named. Then, students define...

In this tiling with pentominoes instructional activity, 10th graders solve 3 different problems related to tiling with pentominoes. First, they define pentomino as a type of polygon and locate 10 other pentomino shapes in the figure...

In this tessellations activity, 10th graders solve 3 different word problems that include creating various tessellations. First, they group pentagons around a vertex so the angles add up to 360 and determine whether the pentagons can...

In this tessellations worksheet, 10th graders solve 6 different types of tessellation problems that includes drawing. First, they define polygon, regular polygon, tessellation, regular tessellation, and semi-regular tessellation. Then,...

In this math worksheet, students investigate tessellations. Students analyze geometric figures and indicate if the shapes tessellate. Students draw and color their own tessellating pattern.

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Learners create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.
