Tessellations

Last week we worked on Tessellations. A Tessellation is a shape that links into a copy of that shape, or another shape. The law of Tessellation is that when they link there must be no gaps, so therefor a circle is not a tessellating shape. We used the cut and take method, using a 7.5cm2 piece of card. The method involves cutting a section from the square and joining it on the opposite side of the square. Here is a picture of my Tessellation:
