Geometry and Spatial Relations: Mirror, Mirror
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

Geometry and Spatial Relations: Sidewalk Capers
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

Tessellations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

Exploring Tessellations (Grades 3-5)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations.

Tri, Tri Again
Source Institutions
Learners estimate how many small triangles will fill a larger shape. Then they use a triangle stamp (or stencil made from a file folder) to fill the larger shape with triangles.

Making a Translation Tessellation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.
