Despite having only a high-school education, she began devoting her free time to discovering new ways to tile the pentagon.
She developed her own system of notation to represent the constraints on and relationships between the sides and angles of the polygons and used it to discover four new types of tessellating pentagons and over sixty distinct tessellations.
Rice's work was eventually examined by mathematics professor Doris Schattschneider, who deciphered the unusual notation and formally announced her discoveries to the mathematics community.

 Perplexing Pentagons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
James had cleverly taken the familiar tiling by octagons and squares, separated the rows of octagons and discarded the squares, divided the octagons into four pentagons, and filled the remaining space with copies of these same pentagons.
This notation was the key to all her investigations, allowing her to easily consider all the possible cases of markings and then decide (by experimental construction) which markings might lead to a pentagon that tessellated.
By 1977, Marjorie Rice had discovered three more new types of tessellating pentagons and more than 60 distinct tessellations by pentagons.
