This collection of playful, interactive activities covers a wide range of math skills: story problems, principles of geometry, fractions, multiplication, big numbers, symmetry and tessellations, and much more! Virtual "math cats" prowl around, explaining various concepts and special features. There is a lot to explore on this site! Two particularly impressive sections include Math Crafts, a collection of creative math-related projects, and Microworlds, a selection of downloadable interactive games.

The beauty and mathematical precision of tessellations come alive in this site that celebrates these unique and compelling designs. Basic information about tessellations is provided, along with a biographical profile of M.C. Escher, and a list of resources providing more in-depth information. The Gallery contains a number of tessellations created by Escher and others. Especially of interest to teachers and students is an instructional section that explains how to make tessellations using a variety of materials and constructions. Created by David Annal.

This site offers a detailed biographical treatment of Escher's work in illustrating perceptual and spatial phenomena and illusions. The site will be useful both for art instruction and for math or science study. We were delighted to find illustrations large enough to show the intricacies of these images. Even younger students will respond to, "What's going on in this picture?" discussions of these images.
