Tessellation Exploration! GRADES K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 What is the difference between a regular tessellation and a semi-pure tessellation? Where does the term tessellation originate, and what is the sum of angles around one vertex in a tessellation of the plane by polygons? Treat your class to an art-filled math experience using museum objects and patterned surfaces to explore different math concepts about tessellations and polygons. Through several hands-on activities students learn and practice the mathematical concept of scale. In a real-life activity they recreate drawings from the original specifications in the Painesville Telegraph for the first Fairport Harbor Lighthouse of 1825. If on the graph paper, one square equals one foot, what is the scale of the completed drawing? Students find out how many of their drawings must be combined to represent the actual lighthouse tower. Get Me to the Game on Time This interactive 45 minute distance learning program focuses on the economics of the home front during war. During WWII the Office of Price Administration enacted rationing, price ceilings, production restrictions and recycling to limit consumer inflation. What did this mean if you wanted to buy a car in 1945? Help your students find out with this program that uses primary sources and photographs from the Crawford AutoAviation Museum collection. Pre-and postprogram classroom activities include many primary documents such as posters, ads, newspaper articles, tables, and photographs. GRADES K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 In session one, compete in teams in an imaginary 1914 Model T Ford car rally to get to a Cleveland Indians baseball game at Jacobs Field. After instruction, each student on a team maps their assigned route, measures the distance and calculates the time of travel using the algebraic relationship of time, speed, and distance. Team results are posted at the start of session two. But, how long will it take if there is a flat tire, traffic jam or other mishap? Teams factor in a safety margin then take their chance on a wheel of fateful travel problems to determine the winner. Reservations are appreciated one month prior to the scheduled date. Students are introduced to a mummy case, an Islamic prayer niche, an M.C. Escher print and other works while learning to identify various tessellations using the viewing guide included in the Teacher Information Packet, which accompanies the videoconference.
