The Overlooked Regular Pentagon
Tenth graders discuss the history of geometry as it relates to pentagons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders solve problems of a pentagon inscribed inside of a circle using ratio. They review other properties for shapes of polygons...
Curated OER
Introduction to Curve Stitching - Line Designs
Students develop their awareness that straight line segments can produce the illusion of a curve and helps them recognize and describe number patterns and geometric fundamentals.
Curated OER
Mine Shaft Grade 8 Slope
Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra instructional activity, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.
Curated OER
"The Greedy Triangle" by Marilyn Burns
Students discover which regular polygons can be used to tile a plane.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Learners 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
Tessellations
Learners 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
Making Pictures from Smaller Shapes
Students investigate shapes. For this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.
Curated OER
Designing a Quilt Pattern
Students create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.
Curated OER
Forty Mental Math Angle Problems
In this angle worksheet, students answer forty mental math questions divided into four problem sets. These problems require students to remember angle facts and so simple calculations mentally.
Curated OER
Let's Tesselate
Young scholars investigate the geometrical concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They make different observations looking for the concepts that are displayed in classroom items like floor tiles, carpet designs, and visuals...

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 2, Lesson 7: Start At Square One
Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.
Curated OER
Tessellations
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...
Curated OER
Covering Spaces
Third graders become more familiar with various geometric shapes by completing the games and activities in this instructional activity. They keep track of the number of each shape they use in each of the three ways.
Curated OER
Tantalizing Tessellations Lesson III: Creating a Slide Translation
Students watch and discuss an M. C. Escher video, use what they have learned to explain and apply their knowledge of tessellations in order to create a slide translation, present their findings in a 12" x 18" poster, and explore...
Curated OER
Tessellations: Use Angles To Show That Shapes Will or WIll Not Tessellate
Learners observe a selection of shapes. They identify which shapes will tessellate and justify their answer. Students apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons to create tessellations.
Curated OER
Tessellation Lesson Plans
Students in second through eighth grades can fill their imaginations with repeating shapes!
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
Property Lists for Quadrilaterals
Students establish classifications of shapes by various properties (angles, sides, etc.). They introduce the important properties of common shapes. Students develop an awareness of the wide variety of ways the 2-D shapes can be alike.
Curated OER
Surface Area of Prism
Tenth graders are provided instructions, including a video, on calculating the surface area of a prism. The one-page interactive worksheet contains two worked questions. Answers are included.
