Last week you learnt about Transformations – Reflections, Rotations, Translations and Dilations. Try this 2D Geometry tutorial with Jermaine to check that you understand what each of these terms mean. This week we will use these to create Tessellations – repeated shapes that create patterns that fill a space, without leaving any gaps. Tessellated tile verandahs were popular in houses of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Using the Tessellations Creator find out which of the regular polygons (equilateral triangles, squares, regualr pentagons, hexagons etc) will tessellate. Check your answers at Tessellation: The Mathematics and Multimedia. Explore the world of Tessellations at www.tessellations.org and CoolMath.com.
the one that can tesalate are 4,6,12
hexagons and triangles tesselate. 🙂
squares, trianges, hexagon
I learnt…..
That triangles tessellate into a pattern
That otigons and sqares tessellate into a pattern
……It was good……..
3,4 and 6 made the best shape’s by sophie
sqaures and triangles tessilate
Square,Triangle and Hexagon these three shapes make Tessellations.Every other shape has gaps.
I learnt that an octagon tesalates with sqrear and that triangles and sgures hagagon tesalate with themselfs
triangles, squares and hexagons tessalte the others don’t
the triangle the square the hexagon fills up the page because the edge of the shape. the rest of the shapes have to many edge which can’t fill in the page
it was fun as triangles and squars and hexagons tesselated i tesselated triangles and squares
Triangles, squares and hexagons tesselates 🙂
triangles, squares, hexagons
the triangles, squares and hexagons tessalte
The triangle, square and hexagon tessellate. The rest leave gaps.
