M.C. Escher
• Some artists use mathematics to help them design their creations.
In M.C. Escher’s Square Limit, the fish are arranged so that there are no gaps or overlapping pieces.
![Page 14: Grade 7: Big Idea 1 Develop an understanding of and apply proportionality, including similarity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697bffb1a28abf838cc13d3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Square Limit by M.C. Escher• How are the fish in
the middle of the design and the surrounding fish alike?
• How are they different?

Square Limit by M.C. Escher
• Escher used a pattern of squares and triangles to create Square Limit.
These two triangles are similar.
Similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Imagine that you need to make a drawing of yourself (standing) to fit completely on an 8.5-by-11-in. sheet of paper. Determine the scale factor, allowing no more than an inch of border at the top and bottom of the page. How long will your arms be in the drawing?

Reflection Questions
Often, tasks are selected based on the amount of time it should take to complete them rather than on the quality of the activity itself. True investigations consume larger chunks of time because they require the use of physical materials and require a higher level of thinking on the part of the students. Children need time to put the pieces together and to communicate their findings. Share your thoughts on time vs. task.
