This module, designed to help students find and identify various geometric shapes and solids, contains 26 worksheets. Topics covered by these worksheets include: identification and grouping of objects with particular patterns, work with pentagons, hexagons, spirals, and symmetry. Teaching suggestions are included.

This column contains brief notes on graphing in three dimensions; patterns in Pascal's triangle; plotting graphs by computer; and an application of the hypocycloid. (MM)

Presents an activity centering on Baravelle spirals in regular polygons to review and connect a number of algebraic and geometric topics, as well as to involve students in formal calculations, visualization, pattern discovery, series, estimation, and recursion. (MKR)

Students use a series of isosceles right triangles constructed on a geoboard to discover patterns and form generalizations. (MP)

A program is outlined for the treatment of Tessellations. Major topics are: Introduction; Tessellations; Regular Tessellation; Semi-Regular Tessellations; Nonregular Tessellations; and Miscellaneous Tessellations and Filling Patterns. (MP)

Pascal's triangle can be used as early as grades five and six to teach children to recognize mathematical patterns. Children can be guided to discover patterns or sequences of numbers if they begin with pictures or physical objects which they can manipulate and count. (Author/BB)

Patterns of equilateral triangles, squares, rectangles, and regular pentagons are provided for students to use in building models of polyhedra. (DT)

Describes and gives patterns for polyhedra other than the Platonic and Archimedean solids. The focus is on the deltahedra, but pyramids, prisms, and antiprisms are discussed first to help describe the deltahedra. (PK)

A mult tile is a set of polygons each of which can be dissected into smaller polygons similar to the original set of polygons. Using a recursive LOGO method that requires solutions to various geometry and trigonometry problems, dissections of mult tiles are carried out repeatedly to produce tile patterns. (MDH)

This updated reprint of a classic work presents design analysis of geometric patterns and information helpful to constructing mathematical drawings of industrial and achitectural features. Both simple and complex designs are given. Problems combine both algebra and geometry. The work is divided into six chapters which are further divided into…

Includes patterns for and a brief discussion of the polyhedra: octahedron, tetrahedron, dodecahedron, cuboid, prism, and star. (PK)

Describes the Circle Scribe Disk Compass and explains its use in helping children to explore patterns and geometry. Topics include Fibonnacci's spiral and regular polygons. (MM)

Shares how students worked on a geometry activity that emphasizes patterns featured in this journal. (ASK)

Ploynomials which can be used to calculate the number of ways of coloring hexagonal patterns are presented. (SD)

Discusses the geometric features of a building called the Alhambra in a city in the southernmost region of Australia called Granada. Describes plane patterns and analyzes those patterns while focusing on the plane symmetry. (ASK)
