Description: Description of a class project.
According to the NCTM Standards geometry "provides an opportunity for students to experience the creative interplay between mathematics and art." This project is specifically designed to allow students to demonstrate their ability to create art using transformational geometry. Many high school students are familiar with the work of M. C. Escher, and are very excited to get the chance to create tessellations, especially since they get to use computers. This lab-based unit will take approximately three class days (our periods are 45-50 minutes) and a couple of hours outside class for the students to complete.
