There are a lot of formulas used to figure out area and perimeter of certain figures. Using the charts below, the lessons can be an easy task.
Wallpaper patterns have a mathematical basis. There are four types of tessellations. There are regular, semiregular, demi regular, and irregular patterns. These all are used to make great artwork.
Transformations involve taking a figure and moving it by a simple translation, a rotation, a reflection, or an enlargement. There are many activities to learn this facet of geometry.
There are some materials to use to learn this activity. There is a device called a “Mira” which will show a reflection of any figure on any given line. There are pegboards with protractors to tell easily a proper rotation on a given angle. Puzzles can be made by students and then laminated.
Polygons can be used for many activities in science, building, and art. The different types of polygons are shown on the right. Below are types of Quadrilaterals with different angles and lengths. These are the basic elementary concepts.
