- Title
Polygon Quadrature and Dodecagonal Tessellation with Pattern Blocks.
- Authors
Caglayan, Gunhan; Kamau, Ben
- Abstract
The age-old challenge of polygon quadrature involves converting a polygon into a square of equal area. In this educational resource, we utilize pattern blocks, commonly employed instructional aids in K-12 education across the United States, to visually demonstrate the transformation of different equilateral and regular pattern block polygons into squares. This is achieved through the application of the area conservation principle and geometric congruence/similarity reasoning.
