Tessellations
By Joe Belnap
Overview




   According to Math 4 Kids- Basically,
   a tessellation is a way to tile a floor
   (that goes on forever) with shapes
   so that there is no overlapping and
   no gaps.

Tessellations in Nature




 Many regular tessellations can
 be found in nature: Beehive,
 pineapple, snake skin, etc.

Regular Tessellations




A regular tessellation is a regular
polygon that can tile a flat surface
using the same type of polygon. There
are only three regular tessellations.
Semi-Regular Tessellations




Semi regular tessellations are a mix of
two or more regular polygons to fill a flat
plane with no gaps or open spaces. There
are eight semi-regular tessellations that
tessellate.
Why do only certain shapes
         tessellate?
         Each polygon that can tessellate has
         an interior angle that can be added
         with any other polygons’ interior
         angles. For example, the interior
                      angle of an equilateral
                      triangle is 60o. The
                      interior angle of a
3-3-3-
4-4                   quadrilateral is 90o. When
                      a point is picked in this
                      tessellation the
         surrounding angles all add up to 360o.
