    This document provides an overview of tessellations. It defines tessellations as collections of polygons that fill a plane without overlaps or gaps. There are two main types of tessellations: regular tessellations use only one regular polygon, while semi-regular tessellations use two or more regular polygons. Only the triangle, square, and hexagon can be used to create regular tessellations because their interior angles evenly divide 360 degrees. The document provides examples of different tessellations and discusses their properties.

    TESSELLATION

    OBJECTIVES:
    At the end of the lesson, the student
    should be able to:
    Recognize and explore the properties
    of tessellations.
    Describe the properties of
    tessellations.
    Introduction:
    TESSELLATIONS ALSO KNOWN AS TILINGS ARE A COLLECTION OF POLYGONS THAT FILL THE
    PLANE WITH NO OVERLAPS OR GAPS. THERE ARE REGULAR TESSELLATIONS THAT
    TESSELLATES WITH JUST ONE POLYGON AND SEMI-REGULAR TESSELLATIONS THAT USE TWO
    OR MORE REGULAR POLYGONS. TESSELLATIONS ARE A GOOD WAY TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS
    TO THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS WHICH CAN BE VERY ARTISTIC AND INTERESTING TO
    VIEW AND STUDY.
    Discussion:
    A TESSELLATION IS A REPEATED
    GEOMETRIC DESIGN THAT COVERS A PLANE
    WITHOUT GAPS OR OVERLAPS.
    EXAMPLE OF TESSELLATION:
    TILES/FLOOR TILE/S BLOCK WALL CHESS BOARD
    Discussion
    A REGULAR TESSELLATION IS A HIGHLY SYMMETRIC
    TESSELLATION MADE UP OF CONGRUENT REGULAR
    POLYGONS. ONLY THREE REGULAR TESSELLATIONS
    EXIST: THOSE MADE UP OF EQUILATERAL TRIANGLES,
    SQUARES, OR HEXAGONS.
    Discussion
    A regular tessellation is a pattern made
    by repeating a regular polygon
    Discussion:
    Discussion
    EXAMPLE OF REGULAR TESSELLATION:

    Equilateral triangles Squares Hexagons


    Discussion
    A SEMI-REGULAR TESSELLATION IS MADE OF
    TWO OR MORE REGULAR POLYGONS. THE
    PATTERN AT EACH VERTEX MUST BE THE
    SAME!
    THERE ARE ONLY 8 SEMI-REGULAR
    TESSELLATIONS:

    Example:
    Discussion:
    EXAMPLE OF SEMI-REGULAR TESSELLATION:
    Discussion:
    TO NAME A TESSELLATION, GO AROUND A VERTEX
    AND WRITE DOWN HOW MANY SIDES EACH
    POLYGON HAS, IN ORDER ... LIKE "3.12.12".

    AND ALWAYS START AT THE POLYGON WITH THE


    LEAST NUMBER OF SIDES, SO "3.12.12", NOT "12.3.12"

    TRIANGLE

    There are only three regular


    polygons that can be used
    tessellate the plane to form
    a regular tessellation, the SQUARE HEXAGON
    triangle, square, and
    hexagon.
    Discussion:
    THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE ANGLE MEASURES OF THESE
    POLYGONS. THE ANGLE AROUND EACH VERTEX IN A
    TESSELLATION HAS TO BE 360 DEGREES. THEREFORE THE
    INTERIOR ANGLE DEGREE OF A REGULAR POLYGON SHOULD
    DIVIDE INTO 360 EVENLY. THE INTERIOR ANGLES OF THE
    TRIANGLE, SQUARE AND HEXAGON ARE 60, 90, AND 120,
    RESPECTIVELY WHICH WORKS. THERE DOES NOT EXIST ANY
    OTHER REGULAR POLYGON WITH THIS PROPERTY.
    Thank you!
