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.

This review lesson plan about basic shapes (polygons)contains varied hands-on exercises and tilings about triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons.

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

Explore the literature connections, online activity, pencil and paper activity, and the manipulative investigation of patterns and geometric shapes on this page!

Site provides information and activities on various aspects of geometry, from shapes to patters and symmetry. Make your own tetra puzzle or build an icosahedron in the classroom. Interactive and fun.

This one page website offers two interesting tiling problems. The solution is provided here as well.

What are square numbers? Use tiles at this one page website to discover the pattern of square numbers. See if you can solve the challenge. Once you have your solution you can check the solution given right at the website.

Create shapes using colorful blocks, and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it

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....
