Tessellation Tool
"If all this tessellated art has you eager to create your own patterns, take a look at this cool tool from Boxer Math. Start by dragging a shape onto the white board. Next, you rotate or color your shape, and repeat as needed. All of the polygons have sides of equal length, so they fit together perfectly. Two more sites with interactive design tools are Pattern Blocks and Virtual Manipulatives."

Tessellating Animation
"Japanese artist Makoto Nakamura has taken tessellations a step beyond the plane with his awesome animations. See his tessellated birds fly, his tessellated fish swim, and his tessellated dancers dance. Next, for the do-not-miss-it click of the day, visit Nakamura’s Jigsaw Puzzles (look for the link at the bottom of the page.) Here you will have a chance to reassemble tessellated cats, pigeons, gorillas and more. Each interactive puzzle is unique and intriguing in its own way. I guarantee everyone in your family or classroom be clamoring for a turn. Having trouble? Try clicking the pieces to rotate them."

Surfing the Net with Kids: Real World Math
"In honor of April’s status as Math Education Month, I’m starting off the month with a look at how math is used in our everyday lives. Like the little girl in "," who wakes up to find everything in her world has turned into a math problem, once you go looking for it, you will find math everywhere. Galileo summed it all up when he concluded "Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has created the universe.""

Surfing the Net with Kids: Multiplication
"Is drill and practice the only way to learn the multiplication tables? Today’s sites offer some interesting answers. Yes, practice is important, and you’ll find several fun ways to do so online.

Read on for more helpful multiplication hints and lots of practice drills."
