Escher-Esque Tessellations
Middle and high schoolers participate in a seven-part instructional activity creating Escher-Esque tessellations. They demonstrate their knowledge of geometric transformations after viewing a PowerPoint presentation, conducting Internet...

Visual Patterns in Tessellations
Geometers explore the concept of tessellations. They use a tessellation applet to manipulate shapes and design their own tessellation using the applet.

Tessellations: Geometry and Symmetry
Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry...

Symmetry of Road Signs
Young scholars identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry activity, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Group Isomorphisms
Students identify and apply properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students define equilateral triangles by sides and angles. They build cardboard triangles as they study properties of triangles.

Geometric Transformations
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.
