I will share activities I developed for high school classroom use. Tessellation provides a rich environment for basic geometric facts and for an introduction to the isometries of the plane. Pentominoes, supertangrams, and rep-tiles illustrate the relationships between similar figures. I will discuss ways to make good use of those puzzles to help students discover or confirm different parts of the high school geometry curriculum.
