Animated sequences show how tessellations are created.
Tessellations can be saved and printed. The teacher resource binder provides a sequence of suggested lesson plans for developing the connections between mathematics and art by using the transformational geometry concepts of translating, tessellating, rotating, and reflecting. Stewart, K., et al. This resource emphasizes problem solving and communication in developing mathematical understanding. Students use base-ten blocks to solve problems with multiple solutions or solution methods, and are encouraged to talk and write about their ideas.
