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 students how to factor trinomials. This lesson plan is part of a larger workshop for teachers that offer insights into teaching algebra.

An area problem involving diagonals of a tiled floor.

This task applies reflections to a regular hexagon to construct a pattern of six hexagons enclosing a seventh. The focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce this seven-hexagon pattern. Aligns with G-CO.B.6.

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....

Students understand that a tessellation is covering of a plane with a pattern of figures so there are no overlaps or gaps. They draw quadrilaterals and triangles and explore monohedral, dihedral, and trihedral tessellating patterns.

Try this hands-on approach to solving algebra problems with this interactive website. Students are able to "solve equations, substitute in variable expressions, expand, and factor".

Students use shapes to explore transformations and tessellations with this interactive white board activity.

Students will determine whether a set of objects contains an even or odd number of members using strategies such as pairing objects or attempting to divide the objects into two equal subgroups. Discussion questions and explanations are...

This resource is about factoring linear and quadratic expressions in one variable, evaluating them at a given value of the variable, multiplying factors to find the expanded form of the expression, and solving linear and quadratic...

This cross-curricular middle school unit integrates mathematics and visual art. Through the study of the M.C. Escher?s work, young scholars explore tiling from both a mathematical and artistic point of view. Points for discussion and...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, students will connect the concepts of counting each square unit and multiplying the side lengths to compute the area of a rectangle. They will extend this knowledge by computing a side...

Includes lesson, practice exercise, and teacher resource on how to factor quadratic equations. You'll find examples for using the factoring and graphing methods for solving, a twelve-question quiz with hints and answers, and a suggested...

The design project examines geometric shapes, color harmonies, and composition. An instructor sheet and student handout are included.

This is a "three star" geometry problem where prior math problem skills and proof experience is recommended. Tile constructions may be used to solve this perimeter and area problem.

This lesson plan helps students explore the mathematical concept of area and features resource links to further learning. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it

Learn how to enlarge drawings, figure out how much tile to buy to cover a specific floor, and learn about area and perimeter. These and other lesson plans are provided, including a fun interdisciplinary plan featuring dragons.
