Tessellations

Tessellations are patterns of shapes that fit together with no spaces. Find out more at Jenny Eather’s Maths Dictionary.

There are some very clever and interesting tessellation animations at this site. The ghost one is VERY cool!!

Which tessellation animation was your favourite?

Why do we need to know about tessellations?
