Tessellation

 
Last week Friday, we learned how to name tessellation patterns. Today we made our own tessellation pattern using symmetry. To me, this activity was kind of easy because, all I had to do was just to make a shape. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun.

Tessellation Pattern

Last Friday, we have been learning how to name tessellation patterns. Today we had to create a tessellation pattern using two or more shapes. I found it hard to create a tessellation pattern. This is my pattern that I have created and named. It is called a vertices, because it has 2 names.

Walt: create and name tessellation patterns

Today we learned how to name and create tessellation patterns. I also learned what a vertex and polygon is. A polygon is a 2D shape that has straight sides and a vertex is a corner. In a tessellation pattern, there must be no gaps and no overlaps. In class, each group got given a tessellation pattern that we had to create. Some tessellation patterns were medium, easy and hard. In my group we did all easy medium and hard patterns. The name of this tessellation pattern is 4.6.6.12.
