Students will use their rulers, crayons, markers and digital cameras to help learn more about the world of mathematics. Drawing on their memory students will develop tessellation images which they will color in therefore, creating a design. Students will detail how tessellation patterns when placed together create repeated patterns and equivalents. Referencing their textbooks students will use their markers and crayons to solve tessellation equations. Using their brilliant minds, students will create tessellated shapes on their own which will be shaded in using markers or crayons. Using the digital camera students will photograph their tessellation patterns for a power-point presentation. These special designs will be displayed via an LCD projector and both teacher and students will discuss the concept tessellation for further understanding. Students having completed their tessellation project will learn how to take ownership of their own learning. Students will also learn how to explore and discover new areas of creating designs that are connected to mathematics.
