Creating Tessellations Assignment
Visit the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
Look for the Geometry Section and find the Tessellations program.
You will be creating 4 different Tessellations for use in next day’s class
12.2 Transformations in Tessellations
While a tessellation can be made up of a single shape, it often involves some changes to the way the shape has been positioned or oriented. Any change to the way that a shape looks is called a "transformation". Find out about some of the different kinds of transformations and how we describe them.
12.1 Exploring Tessellations
A tessellation is a pattern of geometric shapes that fits together with no gaps and no overlaps. Find out how a regular or irregular polygon can be fit together to fill a flat surface, or "tile a plane"
