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 material has been used to make the tessellation? | What shape/s have been used? |
|---|---|---|
| e.g. Bathroom | Tiles | Squares and Diamonds |
Remember to look very carefully in and outside of your home. You may spot tessellations that you have never noticed before!
Happy hunting!!
