Take 6
Investigate the various properties of the number six with this elementary math lesson. From simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the creation of hexagonal tessellations, this lesson covers all aspects of...
Curated OER
Mirror, Mirror
Geometry students use hinged mirrors to discover that the regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point. They sketch triangles on paper models of the regular polygons having 3 to 10 sides and compute the...

Exploring Tessellations
Tessellations are patterns of repeating shapes that don't overlap and don't have any gaps. Middle schoolers take this simple definition and engage in a lesson that combines visual art and mathematics. They cut out index cards using...
Shodor Education Foundation
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.
Curated OER
The Wonderful World of Escher
Bridging art and math can be as easy as making tessellations. The art, context, and life of M.C. Escher is explained to the class, as is the concept of tessellations. After a bit of art history, pupils get out the ruler, tape, and...
Curated OER
Tessellations
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.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Fourth graders use pattern blocks to create tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, 4th graders create tessellations from a tessellation web page and define a tessellation. Students find examples of tessellations in their world....
Curated OER
Tessellations Lesson
Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.
Curated OER
Tesselations
Seventh graders produce a tessellation of an original design developed using an equilateral triangle, where three unique symmetrical faces rotate throughout their creation.
Curated OER
Tessellation
In this math worksheet, students investigate tessellations. Students analyze geometric figures and indicate if the shapes tessellate. Students draw and color their own tessellating pattern.
Curated OER
Tessellations
In this tessellation worksheet, students explore tessellations and create a pattern without overlaps or spaces. After creating the tessellation, they color the shapes. This one-page worksheet contains dot paper for ease in creating a...

Tessellations in Excel
Young scholars complete an Excel project on tessellations. In this technology and math lesson, students discuss tessellations and their occurrences in nature. Young scholars use the Excel computer program to create tessellations.
Curated OER
Tessellations
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.
Curated OER
Tessellations with Regular Polygons
Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having high schoolers make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.
