When you tile, it is important not to overlap tiles or leave gaps between tiles. Tile the large rectangle below by dragging the tiles into place.Oct 27 - 2:51 PMWhy won't these shapes tile properly? What does this teach you about tiling? Tile the following rectangle using the tiles provided.Tile the following rectangle using the tiles provided.Oct 27 - 3:03 PMPredict which shapes will tile and which will not. Oct 27 - 3:16 PMWhat is a tessellation?A tessellation is a repeated geometric design that covers a plane without gaps or overlaps -- in other words, it's just tiling!Now that you know what tessellation is, use the polygons on the following pages to create tessellated patterns .Move box to reveal answer.Oct 27 - 3:36 PMUse the polygons to create a tessellated pattern.Oct 27 - 3:41 PMUse the polygons to create a tessellated pattern.Oct 27 - 3:42 PMHINT: Rotate some of the polygons to create this tessellation. ExampleUse the polygons to create a tessellated pattern.Nov 20 - 11:11 AMHINT: Rotate some of the polygons to create this tessellation. ExampleUse the polygons to create a tessellated pattern.Oct 28 - 9:55 AMUse the polygons to create a tessellated pattern.
