Tessellations
Tessellations are geometric patterns that fill a space with no gaps or overlaps. Squares, triangles, hexagons all are shapes that repeat with an entire surface covered.
The seventh graders make their own M.C.Escher art work by taking a hexagon and transforming it into a bird, person, or other object. How did they get them to fit together so nicely? Mathematics! These student pieces are hanging on a wall in my room.
