Make A Tessellation Math

Click and drag the shapes from the top menu to the canvas below.

Make a tessellation math. Line your oddly shaped cut out on top of a second square of paper lining up the long edges. Use the scroll bars along the right side and bottom of the canvas to view different parts of the canvas. What exactly is a tessellation. To name a tessellation go around a vertex and write down how many sides each polygon has in order.

And always start at the polygon with the least number of sides so 3 12 12 not 12 3 12. Translation can be thought of as sliding the shape along a plane. Draw a line from one side to the opposite side. A fun math art project for kids.

Click and drag a rectangle around a group of shapes to glue them together. You make a tessellation by starting with one or several figures and then you rotate translate or reflect them. If you want to learn how to make a tessellation or how to teach others how to make a tessellation t. They can be made by positioning the same shape with one of these three operations.

If the sides of shapes are dragged close to each other those shapes will snap together. Or do a combination of transformations in order to get a repeating pattern. Take one square piece of paper and cut a weird shape out of one side of the square. So if you start cutting from the bottom side of the square make sure your scissors finish cutting on the bottom side of the square 2.

Cut out a rectangle out of an index card or poster board. Tessellations are patterns resulting from arranging or tiling shapes without any gaps. Triangle square and hexagon.
