Mr. L’s Math

This is a follow up post to Kali: Symmetry Groups which shows a wonderful java app that creates any of the 17 different wallpaper groups, as well as frieze and rosette patterns.

My students were given the assignment of creating a pattern that intrigued them and writing a short story about the pattern. They were able to explore angle relationships and learn about kaleidoscopes as well. I always like empowering students with new tools, especially ones involving technology.

Here is the link to several of the projects on my Picasa website - Kali: Symmetric Kaleidoscope Art - Student Sample Work with Stories.
