I would like you to go on a hunt around your house and in the garden for tessellations.
Draw out the table below into your books and fill in each column.
Where did I find the tessellation? | What shapes have been used? |
e.g. Bathroom | Rectangles |
Look for as many tessellations as you can and remember to look both in and outside of your home. You may find a tessellation that you have never noticed before!
Happy hunting!
