Tesselation Exploration - GRADES 4 - 8
This manipulative tool helps students understand geometric principles as they experiment with tessellations. Students choose a basic shape, then explore what happens when they apply geometric transformations-slides, turns, flips, and glides-to create a  tessellation. They can then watch as their creation animates on the screen, reinforcing transformational geometry concepts. The program also includes step-by-step activities that help students create tessellations of increasing complexity.
