"Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. 'Immortality' may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean." (Godfrey Hardy)

Location: Henry Clay		I am looking for famous works of art that exemplify different types of transformations! I think that would really be fun for our students, and connect math and art together in a unique way!

Location: Winburn MS		I used Escher but also found some toy kaleidoscopes--students love it and will look at the designs differently after working with transformations.

Love MCEscher. Like the idea of the toy but this year I am thinking about using shape blocks for general drawings before using grid paper for exact points. I am also thinking about working with our new art teacher at MLK for lesson tesselations to relate it as final project.
