The word ‘terrera’ in Latin means a small stone cube. They were used to make up ‘tesellata’ the mosaic pictures forming floors and tiling’s in Roman Buildings.
Tessellations are designs which can fill the page, without gaps or over-lapping; to form a pattern that completely fills a space. It’s the simplest form of jigsaw puzzle: all the pieces look alike.
Your tessellation must be based on a shape that will tessellate.
Students also completed a one page paper discussing M.C. Escher, Tessellations and talking about their project and how they made their project.
Students presented the projects to their peers and projects were hung in the hallways for 3 weeks.
