Lesson: 10 – 7 Tessellations Applied Geometry Lesson: 10 – 7 Tessellations Objective: Learn to identify tessellations and create them by using transformations.
Tessellations Tessellations – tiled patterns created by repeating patters of figures. Regular tessellation A tessellation made with ONE regular polygon. Semi-Regular tessellation A tessellation made with 2 or MORE regular polygons.
Equilateral Triangles Regular tessellation Identify the figures used to create each tessellation. Then identify the tessellation as regular, semi-regular, or neither. Equilateral Triangles Regular tessellation
Squares, Regular Octagons, Semi-Regular tessellation Identify the figures used to create each tessellation. Then identify the tessellation as regular, semi-regular, or neither. Squares, Regular Octagons, Semi-Regular tessellation
(not a regular polygon) Identify the figures used to create each tessellation. Then identify the tessellation as regular, semi-regular, or neither. Parallelograms Neither (not a regular polygon)
Equilateral Triangles, Squares, Regular Hexagons, Identify the figures used to create each tessellation. Then identify the tessellation as regular, semi-regular, or neither. Equilateral Triangles, Squares, Regular Hexagons, Semi-Regular tessellation
