Tantalizing Tessellations

No votes have been submitted yet.
What is a tessellation? How do you know if an image is a tessellation, truly? In this lesson, 4th grade students will engage in an examination of images to identify whether or not they are tessellations using three big questions: Is there a pattern of identical shapes repeating over a flat surface? Do the shapes fit together without any gaps? Do the shapes fit together without overlapping? Once they have confirmed that a tessellation is, indeed, taking place, they will then learn to identify what type of transformation is occuring within the tessellation.
