Tessellations

PhotoPeach

We have explored what a tessellating shape is (a repeated pattern made by a single shape). We then created our own tessellation pattern. This proved to be more challenging than it first appeared. There was lots of learning around the need for accuracy, because if drawing and cutting are not accurate then the shape will not tessellate. The students created a tessellating shape and then identified what 'picture' the y could identify it to finish the art piece. Well done guys you came up with some creative patterns.

  1. We all thought it would be easy but we figured out it was not. The cutting was the hardest part! It took us ages to get them finished but I am glad we did them because they look good!!
