![]() When it is finished, you will have a unique poster to hang up. Here are many different ways to make a tessellation. TERMS đƫ RIGHT ANGLE đƫ VERTICAL đƫ HORIZONTAL STUFF Y O U´L L NEED đƫ CARD STOCK đƫ RULER đƫ PENCIL đƫ SCISSORS đƫ CLEAR TAPE đƫ SHEET OF WHITE PAPER đƫ COLORED PENCILS SQUARE MOORISH TILES WITH PRINTED PATTERN Most artistic tessellations are non-regular. Any shape can be used, as long as the pattern repeats. Non-regular tessellation can be made with many shapes. There are eight kinds of semi-regular tessellations. Semi-regular tessellation is made with two or more regular polygons. They are the triangle, the square, and the hexagon. Only three regular polygons can make regular tessellations. Ome tessellations are made with only one polygon. THR E E O F A K I ND REGULAR TESSELLATIONS Fit them together with no overlapping or gaps. Now you have three templates.ĥ Trace each template ten or more times on colored paper. Each side should be 1½ inches (3.8 cm) long. It is another template.Ĥ Draw a square on card stock. Then match the left edge of the template with the right edge of the traced triangle. HOW TO MAKE IT 1 Draw an equilateral triangle on card stock. Or they can be complex, using many different shapes. A tessellation can be simple, using only a few polygons. Here are endless designs you can use in tessellations. TERMS đƫ POLYGON đƫ EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE đƫ SQUARE đƫ HEXAGON STUFF Y O U´L L NEED đƫ PENCIL đƫ RULER đƫ SCISSORS đƫ CARD STOCK đƫ COLORED PAPER If a polygon is not regular, it is an irregular polygon. All other polygons are irregular polygons. And all of the angles are equal to each other. All of the sides in a regular polygon are the same length. When two lines meet at a vertex, they form an angle. ![]() For example, all pentagons have five sides and five vertices. For any polygon, the number of sides and vertices are the same. The sides join together at points called vertices. Can you name any of the shapes in the tessellation below? Each shape has six sides.įor centuries, artists have created patterns with shapes. People make them too! Tessellations are a way to fill spaces with simple or complex shapes.īees are good at making a certain kind of tessellation. Tessellations are designs with repeating patterns. It has interlocking shapes that seem to go on forever! A honeycomb is one example of a tessellation. M A TH TERM S GLOS S A RY W EB S ITES INDEXĪke a look at a bee’s honeycomb.
