⭐ What Teachers Are Saying ⭐
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I used this activity as a project I assigned to my gifted/high-achieving second graders last year. It aligned perfectly with our ELA unit, as well. It was a great way for the kids to practice conducting research, learning the history of a new invention, and presenting in front of the class. Thank you!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was a really fun project for the students! We worked together on one shared Slideshow, and then printed out each of the tesselations and pieced it together. The students were engaged throughout."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I love this resource. Not only does it connect to Inventions but I love the maths element- it tesselates! I particularly like that there is a blank template which means that I can use it for other inventions- for example Scottish inventions. Thanks"
