Learning Goals
Students will be able to verify experimentally how rotations, reflections, and translations preserve congruence in tessellation designs.
Students will be able to describe a sequence of transformations that maps one congruent figure to another in a tessellation.
Students will be able to analyze and revise a tessellation based on peer feedback to improve mathematical accuracy and clarity of explanation.

Tessellation Investigation Notebook
A research-style notebook showing each student’s question, testing process, notes, and final reasoning about how their tessellation works. It captures raw sketches, transformation trials, and a personal explanation of the congruence evidence.
Congruence Celebration Tessellation Poster Set
A team display featuring a final tessellation, labeled transformation sequences, and a concise explanation of how the design proves congruence. The poster set also includes evidence of revision, a note on one challenge or anomaly, and a teamwork reflection for the walkabout.
