In this page, we can see a presentation of the steps that the students followed in order to identify and reproduce the pattern of this mosaic floor exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Patras. The students again observed the mosaic (the Greek students visited the local museum and their partners used the Greek students' photos in the Material section). They reproduced the pattern on the grid, by hand and on Geogebra. The students presented and compared their products in one of the conferences.

 

We constuct the geometric pattern using the follow underlying grid:

We need to erase the circles:

On the last grid, we create the geometric pattern of the mosaic

by hand:

   

and with Geogebra:
