Proportions
How one part compares to another part or the whole

Ratio Introduction

What: Comparing quantities
Why: Essential for scalinge
How does it help: Develops relative thinking

Geometric patterns form the foundation of many mathematical principles and can be observed in various forms:


  • Regular polygons and their properties
  • Tessellations and surface coverings
  • Symmetry in natural and man-made objects
  • Fractal patterns and self-similarity
Geometric Pattern Example

Scale Drawing/h2>
What: Making size-accurate drawings
Why: Used in design/engineering
How does it help: Builds spatial reasoning

There are several types of symmetry in mathematics:


  • Reflection symmetry (flip)
  • Rotational symmetry (turn)
  • Translational symmetry (slide)
  • Point symmetry
Symmetry Examples

Proportion Games

What: Practice with ratios

How does it help: Makes learning interactive

Tessellations can be created using:


  • Regular polygons
  • Irregular shapes
  • Transformed shapes
  • Combined patterns
Tessellation Examples
