Basic Ideas of Geometry

Section 10.1

Activity Name Activity Description
Angles Students practice their knowledge of acute, obtuse and angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal.
Tessellate! Students explore shapes by deforming a triangle, rectangle or hexagon to form a polygon that tiles the plane. Students can also investigate properties of the deformed shapes such as angle measures, areas, and perimeters.
Floor Tiles Students learn about tessellation on quadrilateral figures by dynamically changing the shape of the quadrilateral through dragging corners. Students can also investigate properties of the deformed shapes such as angle measures, areas, and perimeters.
The Mandelbrot Set Students investigate the Mandelbrot Set by clicking and zooming.
