Integer Jim's Math Adventures

Making tessellations are a very popular, fun activity combining math and art. However, tessellations can be quite complicated for teachers to teach and students to draw. This simple method shows two easy ways to draw tessellations. Students will be able to create an entire sheet of tessellations in less than twenty minutes!

This is a video explanation of how in three simple steps to incorporate a mural painting project into your middle school/high school math classes. The use of measuring, scale, proportion, ratio, and elements of geometry are involved in this hands-on creative project. (Note: Mr. Bennett apologizes for any glitches, including a major gaff at 12:25 -- But this is one of his first videos.)
