Prace uczniów - Escher like tessellations


A tessellation is created when a shape (or polygon) is repeated over and over on a surface (or plane) with no empty areas or overlaps in the arrangement. Squares, triangles, rectangles, and hexagons can be repeated like tiles on a surface to create a tessellation. Tessellations provide an opportunity to build a bridge between art and mathematics. During the Art lesson the students from the second grade identify and appreciate the work of M. C. Escher, construct a tessellation and created an Escher-style tessellation using an equilateral triangle with rotations. They created their own tessellation by first making a shape tracer that can be repeated over and over and over again. It technically could go on forever.
