SYMMETRY - TESSELLATIONS

In Room 10 we have been experimenting with shapes that tessellate (cover a surface with no gaps)  Here are some photos of our tessellations. Symmetry - Tessellations on PhotoPeach

  • Josh thinks that triangles were easy to make flat areas
  • Alex found out that you can make a hexagon out of triangles
  • Holly found out that hexagons and triangles worked together to make a flat surface
  • Zayn found out that things didn't work out with the pentagons
  • Mya found out that big shapes and little shapes didn't work together
  • Caleb found out that if you add heaps of squares together they will make a big square
  • Cameron C found out that squares and triangles did make a flat surface but the corners didn't work to make a rectangle
  • Fergus found out that squares and triangles worked out to make a great rectangular shape
  • Harris found out that lots of trianges could make a big diamond
  • Mei found out that lots of triangles made a pyramid shape
  • Maia found out that big shapes and middle shapes didn't work together
  • Russell found out that squares can make big shapes if you use them to make a rectangle line
  • Finn found out that you can't make a triangle with squares
