Students construct tesselations that fosters their ability to create, transform, and critique their own piece of work. This allows them to become aware of repeated patterns in math, and connect these patterns to artwork.

Learners explore the world of art and culture, including the works of M.C. Escher. They identify and create original tessellations. Students use a wealth of interactive multimedia applications. They explore the artistic representations...

Students produce original tessellations, using equilateral triangles where three unique symmetrical faces rotate, use shape, pattern/repetition, and color to create a striking composition, and create "beasties" inspired by bestiaries of...

Bridging art and math can be as easy as making tessellations. The art, context, and life of M.C. Escher is explained to the class, as is the concept of tessellations. After a bit of art history, pupils get out the ruler, tape, and...

Students create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this lesson plan, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own patterns and...

Students study the basic elements and concepts of the visual art's perceptual component - such as shape, line and color. They create tessellations that foster problem solving and reflective thinking.

Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...

Students create a tessellations using rotation and translation. They also create a tessellation using reflection.

Students explore quilting. In this math patterns lesson, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.
