Angles in Polygons
Polygons — it's all about the angles. Groups work with dynamic geometry software to find the sum of the measures of the angles of various polygons. After finding the information for several polygons, the groups generate a formula that...

Tessellations
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.

Tessellation
Students create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...

More on Tessellations
In this tessellations activity, 10th graders solve 3 different word problems that include creating various tessellations. First, they group pentagons around a vertex so the angles add up to 360 and determine whether the pentagons can...

10 by 10 Tessellations
Fifth graders, with a partner, create tessellation patterns by playing 10 by 10 Tessellations. They need to use critical thinking skills to decide if pattern block plane figures tessellate and how each block best fits into the pattern.
