8th grade struggled a little with tessellations. Admittedly, I challenged them by only allowing them to create rotation or reflection based tessellations but this making the tessellation did not seem to be the problem- they had a lot of difficulty turning their shape into a person, place, animal or object, even though I let them use the same shape as the examplars (if needed). They also struggled to finish although I gave plenty of classtime. There were some successes though, here are a few of the best.

What media are these made of? I recognize crayon? but what else?
ReplyDeleteMy students used colored pencils or markers (their choice). I also gave them fine point sharpies to outline the shapes and define the details.
