Maths Tessellations

I drawn the shape into paint, the shape that  was  a triangle. The triangle was transformed by being rotated and moved, the triangle was reflected by being copied into lots of shapes and it was translated by making the triangles into a shape of a hexagon.

We Are Learning How To design and create tessellations to explore and transformations.

I designed and created the tessellating pattern by:

• Drawing a triangle and draw a line in the middle of the triangle.
• Copying and pasting the triangle into 4 triangles
• Rotating each triangle to different degrees.
• Placing one triangle at the top facing down and one triangle at the bottom facing up.
• Placing the two triangles that was left and placed it at each side and made the 4 triangles like a cross
• Adding 4 little triangles at the edge of each big triangle and draw scribbles in the middle of each little triangle.
• Coloring the patterns into any color.
• Making the shape (hexagon) that I made smaller and copying it.
• Pasting the hexagon tessellate and made into a bunch of patterns.
