Tessellations
In this tessellations worksheet, 10th graders solve 6 different types of tessellation problems that includes drawing. First, they define polygon, regular polygon, tessellation, regular tessellation, and semi-regular tessellation. Then,...

More on Tessellations
For this tessellations worksheet, 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...

Tessellations
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.
Curated OER
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...

Creating Tessellations
Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the lesson which provides extension activities and...

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.
Curated OER
Terrific Tessellations
Pupils explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Problem Solving 2: Tessellations
In this tessellations instructional activity, students identify shapes such as hexagons, octagons and other regular polygons and determine if the shapes will tessellate. They explore why some regular polygons tessellate while others do...

Geometry in Tessellations
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...
Curated OER
Tessellation Design And Construction
Students study the basic elements and concepts of the visual art's perceptual component - such as shape, line and color. They create tessellations that foster problem solving and reflective thinking.
Curated OER
Tessellations: Geometry and Symmetry
Students examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...
Curated OER
Tessellation Project
Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Tiling a Kitchen Floor
Cover the floor with math. Pupils work to determine the proper shape to cover a kitchen floor. They first determine the number of tiles to purchase and configure their placement to reduce the amount of waste. Teams finish by creating a...
