DEFINITION: TILES AND TILING

A tessellation or a tiling is a way to cover a floor with shapes so that there is no overlapping or gaps. Tessellation Remember the last jigsaw puzzle.

Here are the eight semi-regular tessellations:

G Stevenson What Are Tessellations? Basically, a tessellation is a way to tile a floor (that goes on forever) with shapes so that there is no overlapping.

Tessellations A tessellation is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes. An important part of any tessellation is that there must be no.

TESSELLATIONS What’s a tessellation? Tessellations are a series of repeating patterns or designs that interlock. The positive and negative space work.

Math Review Day 1 1.Solve the equation for the given variable. 2. Find the slope of a line through (0,0) and (-4,-4). 3. Compare and contrast parallel.

TESSELLATIONS A Tessellation (or Tiling) is a repeating pattern of figures that covers a plane without any gaps or overlaps.

Quick Start Expectations 1.Come in and sit quietly. 2.Fill in planner and HWRS: 3.Read today’s target question: Which regular polygons can be used to tile.

Tessellations all around us Look for tessellations in walls, patios and pavements.

Tessellations all around us Common shapes can be arranged in unusual ways Sometimes an unusual shape will tessellate

Tessellations all around us Sometimes 2 or more different shapes will tessellate.

Modern-day Tessellations Soccer balls Bathroom floors Wallpaper designs

Examples Brick walls are tessellations. The rectangular face of each brick is a tile on the wall. Chess and checkers are played on a tiling. Each colored square on the board is a tile, and the board is an example of a periodic tiling.

Alhambra The Alhambra, a Moor palace in Granada, Spain, is one of today’s finest examples of the mathematical art of 13th century Islamic artists.

Regular tiling Which other regular polygons do you think can tile the plane?

Triangles Triangles? Yep! How many triangles to make 1 complete rotation? The interior angle of every equilateral triangle is 60º. If we sum the angles around a vertex, we get 60º + 60º + 60º + 60º + 60º + 60º = 360º again!.

Pentagons Will pentagons work? The interior angle of a pentagon is 108º, and 108º + 108º + 108º = 324º.

Hexagons Hexagons? The interior angle is 120º, and 120º + 120º + 120º = 360º. How many hexagons to make 1 complete rotation?

Heptagons Heptagons? Octagons? Not without getting overlaps. In fact, all polygons with more than six sides will overlap.

Regular tiling So, the only regular polygons that tessellate the plane are triangles, squares and hexagons. That was an easy game. Let’s make it a bit more rewarding.
