This afternoon we used our Mathematical brains to create some art. We learnt that some shapes don't work as they don't have edges.
Can you guess which shape we can't use for tessellation?
Tessellation is all about using shapes over and over again to make patterns. The next example started with one little fish.
Here are some good shapes to use:
Triangle
Hexagon:
Square:
Here are the examples from the tamariki:
it was so much fun
it is such fun work to do
I only have one more fish to go
it looks so fun to do
it was fun but I got 3 triangles colored :(
