Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having students make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.

Seventh graders produce a tessellation of an original design developed using an equilateral triangle, where three unique symmetrical faces rotate throughout their creation.

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.

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.

Students learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.

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

In this interactive activity, students review attributes of equilateral polygons. They are introduced to the concept of a tessellation. Using protractors and pre-cut shapes, students arrange a variety of tiles to create tessellations....

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the instructional activity which...

Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Learners use translations, rotations, and reflections to create tessellations. They explore and construct several different types of tessellations including pure/semi-pure and non-regular polygon and "Escher-like" tessellations .

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson plan and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Students graph polygons using the name and number of sides. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula to calculate the area and perimeter of polygons. They relate the formula to different polygons and shapes.

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Students make patterns with a variety of pattern blocks. Pupils experiment with making tile designs using only one shape by rotating that shape around a point. They enter a contest for creating the best tile design for the new plaza...

Learners create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to explore areas of polygons. They explain that the answers to the area of the same polygon vary according to the units of measurement used. They visualize how different units of measurement can be used...

Tenth graders identify homogeneous tessellations. In this model-based instructional activity, 10th graders make and identify homogeneous tessellations, both regular and semi-regular.

Sixth graders observe the creation of a tessellation with hexagons. In groups, they work with polygons to discover what shapes can be used to create tessellations and explore the angle measurements of each shape. Using internet websites,...

Students create Post-It note fundamental regions to tesselate. They make tesselations using computer software or websites. They create a jacket design with tesselation and determine the cost of production.

Fifth graders investigate the relationship between math and art by examining patterns and polygons.They examine how polygons make up the patterns that form tessellations, and determine tessellations that occur in nature. Finally, they...

Students investigate the concept of tessellations and how they are formed using angles. They categorize how different patterns do and not tessellate and separate them into two different places for assessment. The teacher draws examples...
