Here’s a fun way to practice the art of tile installation and hone your geometry skills:
STEP 1: Get a package of a square food (such as saltine crackers) and a recycled box of any kind.
STEP 2: Ask an adult where in their home they would like to install tile one day (ex: entryway floor, shower, kitchen backsplash, etc.).
STEP 3: Use the crackers and the recycled box to make a model of their dream tile project! For example you could cut 1 panel of the box and use it as the ‘floor’, or cut the top off the box and use it as a ‘shower’. Then figure out how to arrange your square food items in a geometrically correct tile pattern!
STEP 4: Share a picture of your tile model in the Student Showcase to build your resume!
