Tessellation
What will we learn today?
• recognising shapes that can tessellate
• identifying the unit shape in a
tessellation
• making different tessellations with a
given shape
4. The meaning of tessellation

tessellated?
Can be stacked together
or lined up without
gaps or spaces in
between the unit shape.
5. A Wrong Example
