Tesselations

This week, as we worked to conclude our unit of work on 2D shapes, we looked at tessellation patterns. Isaac identified the features of a tessellation on the smart board, students then completed unfinished tessellation patterns on coloured paper before taking a guess at how many tiles they would need to draw in. Then students had the opportunity to construct their own tessellating patterns on dot paper. As an extension activity, students were able to create a tessellation design from our 2D shape kit - take a look at the colourful, repeating patterns with no gaps.
