Objective

• You will learn to determine which regular
  polygons can be used to form a tessellation.

3
Tessellation

• Tessellation? A tessellation is a repetitive
  pattern of polygons that fit together with no
  holes or gaps.
• A tessellation CANT have GAPS!

Answer of Example 1

• The shape is a tessellation. This shape is a
  tessellation because it has no gaps.

6
Example 2

• Tell if the shape below is a tessellation or not.
  Explain.

7
Answer of Example 2

• The shape below is not a tessellation. The shape
  is not a tessellation because it has gaps, and if
  a shape has gaps it cannot be a tessellation.

Critical Thinking (Ex. 3)

• Critical Thinking Max wants to make a
  tessellation, with 3 circles and 4 rhombus. Would
  it be possible for him to make a tessellation
  with 3 circles and 4 rhombus? Explain.

9
Answer of the Critical Thinking

• It would not be possible for Max to make a
  tessellation with 3 circles and 4 rhombus. It
  would not be possible, because it would have
  gaps.
