 Teacher Review (Based on classroom experience)Reviewer: Craig, Jun 17 2005 09:12:18:360PM |
Classroom use in Courses and Topics: Geometry: Transformations and symmetry |
Duration of classroom use: One Week |
What did students learn? Students learned to look for particular types of symmetry in photographs or drawings of tessellations and wallpaper patterns. |
What did students do with the resource? They used the tool to classify wallpaper patterns, either from photos or tessellations they had generated by hand. |
How hard was it for students to use? Easy |
Other classroom comments: Download of the file takes a while; I copied it to my school's server, so students could open the file locally rather than over the internet. |
