Tesellations

During maths we have been looking at shapes that tessellated. We have been using a mix of technology and "old school" cutting and pasting (you know...with scissors  and glue).

Using a parallelogram on google draw we made a shape/scribble on one side, cut and pasted it to the other parallel side. This was then repeated until we had a random shape. We then printed these off, coloured them and pasted them together like a jigsaw. 

Next we are going to investigate why some shapes will tessellate and others won't.
