Starting assignment young students
Young students start with a simple assignment where the rules are quickly discovered. This two-layer muqarnas follows the rule "back on front". Students are handed over a construction plate for a quick start.
This worksheet is part of my geogebra book on Muqarnas.

An extension to this easy assignment is the task to generate alternatives for the same construction plate. Students find out that there are a lot of possibilities.
