![]() ![]() Introductory lessons, students will discover the characteristic traits of Tessellate a shape using slide, rotation, and reflection techniques. Numeracy - Students will engage in problem solving as they discover theĭifferent ways one can tessellate polygons from the geoblocks, and how to Students will alsoīe encouraged to use "math language" - rotation, slide, trapezoid, hexagon, Will require the teacher to use clear and precise language. Because there is a lot of direct teaching involved, it ![]() Teacher modelling a technique, students will have an opportunity to develop Tessellations can be integrated across the curriculum.Ĭommunication - students will communicate their understanding of the These are some of the ways we think our topic of Studying insects, they can connect tessellations to the wings of aįly or butterfly. TheĬlassroom quilt can be considered symbolic for the class each student couldĬompose a story to explain her/his quilt patch. Their importance can be studied through social studies. This mathematical topic can also be explored in other subjects. Of paper) and a geometric transformation (translation, rotation, or The quilt will be a combination of a geometric shape (the square piece As a culminating activity, students will create a classroom Escher, students will see how their topic can become aįamous art form. Tessellations in the environment, such as interior design. In addition, we have exposed the students to They will write definitions and assess how well Throughout the activities in this unit, the students are asked to respond to This unit integrates math with language arts and artsĮducation. ![]()
