Tessellations & Symmetry

My challenge classes today spent some time exploring line symmetry and tessellations using GeoReflectors. My favorite was Kyle’s in period 7:

Here are pictures of two of 9th period’s favorites:

MAP practice

I want you to spend some time reviewing for your Math MAP test at this linked web site (click here). At that web site, scroll to the very bottom of the page and try out the different Math tests that match your RIT range. You should also try the tests one level above and one level below your RIT range. If you can’t remember your RIT score, just ask Mr. Smith.
