Students explore proportional relationships in this activity as they build a ratio table in order to project how many tiles would be needed to cover the area of a floor.

Students are given pattern blocks and are told to create a tile design for a building to use on the floor. Printable lesson.

If art and math are both passions of yours, this project is meant for you! Spidrons are geometric forms made from alternating sequences of equilateral and isosceles (30 degrees, 30 degrees, 120 degrees) triangles. Spidrons were...

Eighth graders are presented with a pattern of octagon tiles. They are asked to answer questions about angle measures and hexagonal arrangements. Aligns with 8.G.A.5.

Eighth graders are presented with a tile pattern showing an apparent square surrounded by four octagons. They are asked to answer a question about congruency and angle measurements, as well as prove that the interior shape is really a...

This is an algebra tiles lesson in factoring polynomials. The link found a the bottom of the page links to an index of over two hundred lesson plans in various mathematical topics.

From February 2003, a Q&A discussing damaged tiles and other problems that the Space Shuttle Columbia faced during its re-entry and subsequent explosion.

Use tiles to represent variables and constants to solve algebra problems. Solve equations, substitute in variable expressions, and expand and factor.

Creating a memory game by drawing a grid of tiles including the use of object-oriented principles and the Fisher-Yates shuffle.

Continuing with the creation of the Memory Game is creating the tiles to flip--click-flipping tiles, restricting tile flips, delay-flipping tiles, and checking matches.

How many tiles would you have to pick to be confident that your estimated probability truly represents the situation? In this activity, you will draw a tile from a bag, record its color and put it back in the bag. The bag contains 24...

A geometry lesson where students read about tilings and tessellations, answer some questions, then explore them using an online interactive. Afterwards, they share and apply their learning in discussion and by examining other tilings.

A scanned copy of the 1880 publication of Nursery Tiles, a book of children's poetry.

In this lesson, students will engage in shared reading with the Kevin Henkes' book, Chrysanthemum. Then students will engage in a letter tiles activity that requires them to compare the length of their own names with the name...

The purpose of this task about tiling a kitchen floor is to give students practice in reading, analyzing, and constructing algebraic expressions, attending to the relationship between the form of an expression and the context from which...

Build a "floor tile" by dragging the corners of a quadrilateral. Learn about tessellation of quadrilateral figures when the shape you built is tiled over an area.

In this activity, students explore probability and patterns in fractions, decimals, and percents by drawing tiles out of a bag.

For this activity created by mathematician Donald Coxeter, students manipulate rhomboids to make different 3-D cubes and other shapes.

A great and very informative article about dissection tiling or tessellation.

In this March, 2003, article, the investigation board that was investigating the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster found more evident that hot gases was the cause of the disaster.

How can you describe this shape's perimeter and area? Students review expectations and work together to solve problems about area and perimeter.

Were off to get the measure, the wonderful measure of side! The students will identify the longest side of an object and measure its length with a variety of non standard units.

Go to Tessellation Town on Tile Island and create a variety of tessellations.

This is the first of two algebra lesson plans from Annenberg Learning. Find plans to teach learners how to factor trinomials. This lesson plan is part of a larger workshop for teachers that offer insights into teaching algebra.
