  GEOMETER'S SKETCHPAD TESSELLATION TUTORIAL - Cathi Sanders 

In the spirit of Suzanne Alejandre's Tessellation Tutorials,
Cathi gives step-by-step directions for using the Geometer's 
Sketchpad to make original tessellations, and provides a
tutorial sketch to download:

http://mathforum.org/sum95/suzanne/tess.gsp.tutorial.html

Tessellations by Cathi's students at Punahou School in 
Honolulu, Hawaii are on the Web, together with comments
they have written about their work:

For fun, try manipulating a JavaSketchpad tessellation, 
from the Forum, or download more sketches:

If you don't have the Geometer's Sketchpad, you can download 
a demo version from the Math Forum:

Cathi Sanders teaches a portfolio class in high school 
geometry at Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii, and an 
E-School interactive electronic geometry class funded 
through the Hawaii Department of Education. She has a
particular interest in projects that interweave geometry, 
art, and design.
