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.

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.

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

This task applies reflections to a regular octagon to construct a pattern of four octagons enclosing a quadrilateral. The focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce that the quadrilateral is actually a square....

Physicists sometimes study matter under extreme conditions. For example, think of the emptiness of interstellar space vs. the unimaginable crush of pressure at the center of a neutron star, or an object dipped in liquid nitrogen vs. the...

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....

Today you will get an opportunity to conduct an assessment interview that will look at how well your students are measuring with inch tiles.

This resource discusses the use of manipulatives in the study of Algebra. The author sees benefits in symbol manipulation to enrich understanding, in geometric interpretation strengthening the connection to other parts of mathematics,...
