Part A - Fractions, Decimals, and Percents with Mosaics Directions: A mosaic is a picture or decorative design made by setting small colored pieces, such as glass, stone, or tile, into a surface. 1. Create a mosaic (colored pattern or picture) on the 10 by 10 grid on the Mosaic worksheet. You must use at least 5 colors. (Worksheet courtesy of Christina Bower) 2. List all of the colors used in the chart and the number of squares that are filled with that color. 3. Finish filling out the chart by figuring out the fraction of each color in your picture. Make sure to reduce all fractions. Then convert each fraction to a decimal and a percent. 4. Fill in the missing information on the chart on the second page of the Mosaic worksheet. Part B - Internet Research Directions: The internet is a wonderful way to find new ideas to use in the classroom. For each of the items below, you will find one internet site.

This activity should either introduce the lesson or help the student further understand the topic. Make a list of all of the materials needed and write a paragraph explaining how to do the activity in your own words, For #4-6, the websites do not have to be related to the lesson in #1-3. 4. A history of math site - Write a paragraph about why you chose this site and something new that you learned. 5. A site for current issues in mathematics education - Write a paragraph about why you chose this site and what you learned about this issue. 6. Choose one of the following: a. A site that shows a connection between math and art. Write a paragraph explaining this connection b. A site that shows a connection between math and music. Write a paragraph explaining this connection C. A site that shows a connection between math and a sport. Write a paragraph explaining this connection. Extra Credit Opportunity!
