Tessellations: Lesson
Build a pattern by rotating a figure around one of its vertices. A segment of an extensive playlist on basic geometry introduces the concept of tessellations through regular tessellations. The video shows how to create tessellations and...
Curated OER
Terrific Tessellations
Students construct tesselations that fosters their ability to create, transform, and critique their own piece of work. This allows them to become aware of repeated patterns in math, and connect these patterns to artwork.
Curated OER
Terrific Tessellations
Students create to pieces of artwork using two primary colors and tessellation techniques. This is an excellent lesson that can be accomplished using standard art techniques or educational software such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft...
Curated OER
Tessellations: Geometric Patterns
Students create tessellation drawings using repeating geometric shapes.
Corbett Maths
Tessellations
Tessellate to fascinate your pupils. Watching a video helps them first understand the idea of tessellations. It then shows how the interior angles of shapes undergoing tessellations will sum to 360 degrees at points where their vertices...
National Gallery of Canada
Tantalizing Tessellations!
Examine repeating and intricate patterns with a study of M.C. Escher and a related art activity. Pupils view and discuss the artwork before creating their own tessellating patterns. Step-by-step instructions for creating a template are...
Curated OER
Tessellations: Geometry and Symmetry
Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry in their...
Curated OER
Enticing Tessellations
Students respond to visual effects used in M.C. Escher's artworks. They identify the difference between subject matter and background of visual art. They compare and contrast the basic shapes to create a tessellation with the more...
Curated OER
Try Tessellation
Most middle schoolers probably feel that quilting is at best an activity left to their grandmothers. This lesson uses the Zome modeling system to get them to realize how shapes in quilting are really tessellations and repeating patterns....
Curated OER
Interactivate - Geometry in Tessellations
Students use an on-line worksheet to experiment with patterns of tessellations in regular polygons. As students observe different shapes in the "Tessellate" Activity they complete a data table and practice making predictions for...
Curated OER
Tessellations WOW!
Students identify and manipulate shapes to create tessellations. In these geometry/spatial relations lessons, the students use of a variety of modalities such as literature, music, writing, and art as introductions to the concept of...
Curated OER
Wallpaper and Tessellations
Learners learn about and make tessellations. In this geometry lesson, students watch a video about wallpaper tessellations and use a handout to learn about tessellations. Learners make an irregular tessellation.
Curated OER
Investigating Tessellations in 2 Dimensions
Learners analyze tessellations. In this geometry lesson, students discover which shapes can or cannot be used to create a tessellation. Learners watch a video, then create their own tessellations.
Curated OER
Seeing is Believing - Or Is It?
Here is a great science lesson. It extends the concept of vision into the area of optical illusions, perspective, and tessellation. This well-designed plan has tons of great activities, utilizes interesting video, and should lead to a...
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...
Curated OER
Introducing Tessellations
Students create tessellations to increase their knowledge of the applications of geometry. They explore the different shapes of polygons.
Curated OER
Exploring Tessellations
Fifth graders examine how to make tessellations. For this tessellation lesson, 5th graders review the meaning of the word "polygon" while the teacher shows them various examples. They practice making tiling patterns or tessellation's...
Curated OER
Transformations, Tessellations, and Technology
Young scholars complete a unit about transformations and tessellations. They explore various tessellation websites, determine which shapes tessellate, complete a log about which website activities they complete, and create a...
