Tesselate

We watched this video in class.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9lJhDLtFeM




The hexagons in a beehive all tessellate. What do we think the definition of tessellation is?









Which of these regular polygons can tessellate and which can not?




Why do certain polygons tessellate? Make 5 observations.





What do you notice this student did?

The shapes that tessellate make 360 degrees (or are factors). The shapes that do not make more than 360 degrees.
