Tessellation By: Maria, Leonela, & Lissaret
Objective: You will learn to determine which regular polygons can be used to form a tessellation.
Tessellation Tessellation A tessellation is a repetitive pattern of polygons that fit together with no holes or gaps. A tessellation CAN’T have GAPS!
Examples #1: Determine if this shape is a tessellation. Explain Rhombus
Answer of Example #1: The shape is a tessellation. This shape is a tessellation because it has no gaps.
Example #2: Tell if the shape below is a tessellation or not. Explain.
Answer of Example #2 The shape below is not a tessellation. The shape is not a tessellation because it has gaps, and if a shape has gaps it cannot be a tessellation.
Critical Thinking (Ex. 3): Critical Thinking Max wants to make a tessellation, with 3 circles and 4 rhombus. Would it be possible for him to make a tessellation with 3 circles and 4 rhombus? Explain.
Answer of the Critical Thinking: It would not be possible for Max to make a tessellation with 3 circles and 4 rhombus. It would not be possible, because it would have gaps. FOR EXAMPLE:
Thank You: For your attention. Listening carefully And understanding well. We hope you have learn a lot!
