Regular tessellation

Posted on June 17, 2019 Tessellations are one of my favorite math things. And art things. Artist M. C. Escher is considered a master of tessellations. Actually, that's why June 17 was chosen as World Tessellation Day; today is Escher's birthday! (See "Also on this date" below.) And tile things. Zellige terracotta tiles in Marrakech Tessellations are arrangements of shapes that fit together in a repeated pattern, with no gaps between shapes, and with no overlapping. Tessellations can even be…

This optional sequence of three lessons can be done any time after the first unit in the course. Students are introduced to tessellations of the plane. The activities in this lesson provide students a chance to go more deeply and apply grade 8 geometry concepts to a mathematical context. The activities in this sequence of three lessons build on each other, so should be done in order. It is not necessary to do all three lessons to get some benefit, although more connections are made the…

A Pythagorean tiling or two squares tessellation is a tessellation of an Euclidean plane by squares of two different sizes, in which each square touches four squares of the other size on its four...

In each case, modifications along hexagon-edges were made using equilateral triangles. Every segment in this tessellation has equal length, also, which required trisection of the original hexagons&…
