1. Paul Klee

2. Notice anything?
Are the words of the poem or the colors more important?

3. A tessellation is a shape that can interlock.
A REGULAR tessellation is made up of congruent regular polygons only.

4. Look into the painting and see if you can identify any particular area(s) in the painting that is/are tessellated by one particular type of regular polygon.

6. Our Project:
We are going to use Klee's work as inspiration for our own work.  
We'll also use MATH for our inspiration.
Choose a one digit by one digit multiplication problem with a two digit answer.   Example: 7 x 7 = 49

7. Write that fact on your 1- inch graph paper
Write that fact on your 1- inch graph paper. Be sure your numbers FILL the square on the grid.
Let your teacher check your work.
Write it 7 times in the pattern shown.
Trace it with a marker (one color).

8. Next, forget that these are numbers and only look at the space made by each number. Color it in patterns/designs to make it visually interesting.
Repeat the patterns for each fact, but try to use different patterns within the fact.
