Tessellation

I learned something from the year 7 textbook recently! I was surprised that I had never thought about these two facts (as shown in questions 2 and 3 above.

And the answers were there, staring at me from the page. I would love make this into an activity where the questions build:

  • Draw a triangle that tessellates. And another. And another. Do all triangles tessellate? Prove it.
  • Draw a quadrilateral that tessellates. And another. And another. Do all quadrilaterals tessellate? Prove it.

What have you learned lately? Have you been surprised?
