Tessellations

For Teachers 9th - 10th
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.

Design the Mascot

For Teachers 6th - 9th
Explore how resizing an object affects its area. The set of lessons challenges young mathematicians to design a mascot for electronic devices. These designs undergo resizing to determine how scale factors of dilation affect area.

Circumscribed Polygons

For Teachers 9th - 10th
Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson plan, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

Areas of Polygons

For Teachers 8th - 10th
Students calculate the are of regular polygons. In this geometry lesson, students create polygons on the computer and move it around to create different shapes. They explore the area of different polygons and how they inter-relate.

Patterns: A Stitch in Time

For Teachers 4th - 6th
Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.
