Investigating Patterns: Symmetry and Tessellations
A metasite of Web resources for grades five through eight math
GRADE LEVEL: 6-8

http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/jbsymteslk.htm

CONTENT:
This is a metasite of Web resources for grades five through eight math by author and consultant Jill Britton.
AESTHETICS:
The layout is a simple table of contents with few graphics.
ORGANIZATION:
The site is organized into 30 subtopics dealing with symmetry and tessellations. The main page of the site lists links. Users will need to use the back button to return to the list of sites.
REVIEW:
Author and consultant Jill Britton has put together this site to accompany her book by the same name, but the resources will be helpful to any grade 5-8 mathematics teacher. The links are grouped into 30 topics, including an introduction to symmetry, symmetry in the alphabet, reflectional and rotational symmetry, regular polygons, and more. Each topic has an annotated list of links to other sites that offer fun activities, tutorials, and lesson plans. This is a great resource for finding Web sites to integrate into your math curriculum or for students looking to practice their skills and find help with their math homework.
