Applied Geometry
Lesson: 10 – 7
Tessellations
Objective:
Learn to identify tessellations and create them by
using transformations.

2. 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.

3. 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

4. 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

5. (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)

6. Equilateral Triangles, Squares, Regular Hexagons,
Identify the figures used to create each tessellation. Then identify the tessellation as regular, semi-regular, or neither.
