Geometry in Tessellations	Lesson: Explores lines, planes, angles, and polygons in tessellations.
Introduction to Fractals: Geometric Fractals	Lesson: Outlines the approach to building fractals by cutting out portions of plane figures.
Tessellations: Geometry and Symmetry	Lesson: Examines plane symmetry.
Visual Patterns in Tessellations	Lesson: Explore the mathematical nature of art and tilings and looks at the role of math in nature and our culture.
Sierpinski's Triangle	Activity: Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Triangle -- a fractal made from subdividing a triangle into four smaller triangles and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.
Tessellate!	Activity: Create a tessellation by deforming a triangle, rectangle or hexagon to form a polygon that tiles the plane. Corners of the polygons may be dragged, and corresponding edges of the polygons may be dragged. Parameters: Colors, starting polygon.
