PPT-Tessellation Examples History of Tessellations

Started in Mesopotamia more than 6000 years ago Original designs were made from pebbles set in plaster like a mosaic As tessellations became more advanced clay mosaic tiles were used to decorate walls floors and ceilings in castles and mosques. brPage 1br brPage 2br Examples Examples brPage 3br 27 Examples Examples 18 brPage 4br 15 15 729 16 brPage 5br 12 12 12 12 brPage 6br 16 18 18 1 Katherine Sheu A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated o ver and over again to cover the plan e without any overlaps or gaps. 1.

This PowerPoint will be used as an independent learning center for 6. th. grade math students. Students will be expected to navigate through the PowerPoint by using the table of contents and completing all of the included activities. While completing this learning center students will explore the biographies of well known artists that have contributed tessellations to the art and computer world. In addition, students will be able to create their own tessellations using the computer as well as follow directions to make one using paper and pencil. . STEM Cats. Tessellations. M.C. Escher.

The industry demands a higher graphical fidelity. By Rebecca K. Fraker. Atlantic Union Conference. Teacher Bulletin 2013. What are Tessellations?. The word '. tessera. ' in Latin means a small stone cube. . They were used to make up the mosaic pictures forming floors and . Make a tangram by drawing an 8 x 8 square and cutting out the 7 shapes as shown below.. Tangrams: making shapes. Use all 7 shapes each time; they can be rotated and flipped over if needed.. Individual pieces must not overlap each other. . What is Tessellation?. Tessellation is the process of tiling repeating shapes over and over on a plane without gaps of overlaps.. Methods of Tessellating. Translation. Reflection. Rotation. M.C. Escher. POD: . What is the measure of each interior angle of each regular polygon?. Equilateral triangle. Pentagon. Hexagon. Octagon. Tessellations. Tessellation – . A collection of figures that cover a plane with NO OVERLAPS.. What shapes can tile the plane?. In other words, shape can you put next to itself and NOT have any gaps?. Circles?. Octagons?. Hexagons?. Triangles?. Regular Tessellations. When the shape used to tile the plane are the same regular polygons the tessellation is called regular. These are the only regular tessellations.. M.C. Escher.
