Description
In this eight-lesson unit, from Illuminations, students investigate fractional parts of the whole and use translation, reflection, rotation and line symmetry to make four-part quilt squares. Teams of students make paper quilts from squares they have designed. Each team presents its quilt design to the class and describes how it arrived at the design. The teams analyze the different quilt designs and discuss the numerical and geometrical similarities and differences among them.
