Tessellations: Geometry and Symmetry
Students examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...
Curated OER
Creating Tessellations
Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.
Curated OER
Math Quilts
Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...
