Tessellation Project (K12)

K-12: Materials at high school level.

1. Create 2 different tessellations based on the square grid given below. You should be able to create a tessellation by some figure. It doesn’t matter if they are fish, rabbits, people, or something entirely different. Use pencil at this stage.

2. Create 2 different tessellations based on the paralellogram grid given below. You should be able to create a tessellation by some figure. It doesn’t matter if they are fish, rabbits, people, or something entirely different. Use pencil at this stage.

3. Pick the sketch you like best and turn it into a nice tessellation. Use a black pen to ink in the figures. Use color if you want to make the figures stand out more.

4. Some questions:

A. Your final tiling is based on (circle one):	The Square	The paralellogram
B. Did you use any reflections? (circle one):	YES	NO
C. Did you use any translations? (circle one):	YES	NO
D. Did you use any rotations ? (circle one):	YES	NO
