Most middle schoolers probably feel that quilting is at best an activity left to their grandmothers. This lesson uses the Zome modeling system to get them to realize how shapes in quilting are really tessellations and repeating patterns....

Young scholars use an on-line worksheet to experiment with patterns of tessellations in regular polygons. As students observe different shapes in the "Tessellate" Activity they complete a data table and practice making predictions for...

Here is a geometry worksheet in which learners locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to geometry. There are twelve words located in the puzzle.

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.

In this tessellation worksheet, 7th graders use patterns to draw tessellations for the given shapes and colors. Students solve five problems.

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...

Interactive tool creates patterns to cover the screen using regular polygons.

This MathWorld site shows pictures of polyhedra which can fill space. A discussion of these figures follows.

This one page Mathworld site has a number of examples of semiregular tessellations. A definition and a small amount of related information is given at the bottom of the page.
