About this model

This education project involves students creating tessellation patterns and printing those out as puzzle pieces. Developing math thinking involves looking for patterns. This activity is designed to encourage students to see patterns in the world around them. 3D printing is useful because students understand concepts by manipulating physical objects through kinesthetic learning. Please "like" this file if you collect or download it. The sample files provided here are examples of puzzles students could create. These puzzles could be shared with other students to reinforce the concepts of tessellating patterns further. Here are other examples I created: It also creates a nice piece of math art. __________ kendel3d created an awesome puzzle frame for this:
