Tesselations

PART A: Practice your understanding of mathematical transformations.  Remember: translate = slide, reflect = flip, rotate = turn.  See how many levels you can complete.  They get pretty tricky!

PART B: Watch this video to see how one very famous artist uses Math to create amazing art!  He is the master of tesselations!

PART C: Take a 5 minute brain break and play this old school game that helps you practice Math transformations!

PART D: Now, it's time for you to try creating your own tesselations!  Use this site to create your tesselation.

PART E: If you have already finished creating a number of tesselations using the website, you may want to challenge yourself and use Microsoft Paint (a program on your computer) to create a tesselation.  You can view instructions here.

Rainbows for Maranda

This afternoon some students spent time creating "Rainbows for Maranda".  Maranda is a 10-year-old girl in Regina who is suffering from an undiagnosed illness.  She happens to love rainbows!  So, joining in with thousands who have already sent rainbows with hopes of brightening Maranda's day, we painted and colored rainbows!
