For this tessellations worksheet, students name 3 items that have tessellating patterns. Students then use the interactive tessellating program found at www.shodor.org to draw and answer 5 questions about their tessellations.

In this math learning exercise, students investigate tessellations. Students analyze geometric figures and indicate if the shapes tessellate. Students draw and color their own tessellating pattern.

In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

In this tessellations worksheet, students answer questions about the characteristics of tessellations.  They identify polygons that will and will not tessellate.  Students determine the sum of angles in a polygon...

The magic number is six! Using a 6x table, young math stars practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing two-digit numbers with the number six. This activity also touches on making tessellations with hexagons. 

For this tessellation worksheet, middle schoolers 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...

In this tessellations worksheet, 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 not. This...

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...

In this tessellating a hexagon worksheet, 10th graders complete 2 activities in creating a tessellation of a hexagon. They start off with the tessellation by the smallest pattern block and obtain other tessellations by replacing each two...

In this tessellation activity, 7th graders use patterns to draw tessellations for the given shapes and colors. Students solve five problems.

In this tiling with pentominoes worksheet, 10th graders solve 3 different problems related to tiling with pentominoes. First, they define pentomino as a type of polygon and locate 10 other pentomino shapes in the figure shown at the top....

In this polynominoes worksheet, learners solve 9 different types of polynominoes problems. First, they identify that a polynominoe is a polygon made from squares of the same size and connected to each square. Then, students determine how...

Show your class one way in which art and math are related by teaching them about M.C. Escher. Class members read a brief passage and then respond to five related questions.

In this polynominoes instructional activity, 10th graders solve 9 different problems relating to various types of polynominoes, such as triominoes and tetrominoes. First, they determine how many different types of triominoes they can...

In this drawing learning exercise, learners copy a number of shapes and then practice drawing the shape in the box provided at the bottom of the learning exercise.

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

In this problem solving strategy instructional activity, students complete a graphic organizer to help solve a problem. Students complete 4 sections: understand, plan, solve and look back. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.

In this triangles and quadrilaterals worksheet, students solve 7 short answer problems. Students find objects around the house that are constructed from triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, rectangles. Students sketch the...

In this tracing worksheet, students practice tracing a specific shape or line a number of times on the page. They do not practice writing it on their own.

This interactive activity gives you an opportunity to color in a tessellation that is different from the usual. Read the short introduction to find out more about this tessellation that doesn't repeat.
