Tessellations By Kiri Bekkers & Katrina Howat What do my learner’s already know...Yr 9 Declarative Knowledge: Students will know... Procedural Knowledge: Students will be able to... Declarative Knowledge & Procedural Knowledge Declarative Knowledge: Students will know... How to identify a polygon Parts of a polygon; vertices, edges, degrees What a tessellation is The difference between regular and semi-regular tessellations Functions of transformational geometry - Flip (reflections), Slide (translation) & Turn (rotation) How to use functions of transformational geometry to manipulate shapes How to identify interior & exterior angles Angle properties for straight lines, equilateral triangles and other polygons How to identify a 2D shape They are working with an Euclidean Plane Procedural Knowledge: Students will be able to... Separate geometric shapes into categories Manipulate geometric shapes into regular tessellations on an Euclidean Plane Create regular & semi-regular tessellations Calculate interior & exterior angles Calculate the area of a triangle & rectangle Tessellations Tessellation: Has rotational symmetry where the polygons do not have any gaps or overlapping Regular tessellation: A pattern made by repeating a regular polygon. (only 3 polygons will form a regular tessellation) Semi-regular tessellation: Is a combination of two or more regular polygons. Demi-regular tessellation: Is a combination or regular and semi-regular. Non-regular tessellation: (Abstract) Tessellations that do not use regular polygons. Transformational Geometry •Flip, Slide & Turn •Axis of symmetry Shape •Polygons •2D & 3D Location & Transformation Geometric Reasoning Regular Tessellations A regular tessellation can be created by repeating a single regular polygon... Regular Tessellations A regular tessellation can be created by repeating a single regular polygon... These are the only 3 regular polygons which will form a regular tessellation... Axis of Symmetry Axis of Symmetry is a line that divides the figure into two symmetrical parts in such a way that the figure on one side is the mirror image of the figure on the other side 2 1 3 1 2 4 3 Axis of Symmetry Axis of Symmetry is a line that divides the figure into two symmetrical parts in such a way that the figure on one side is the mirror image of the figure on the other side 2 1 2 1 3 4 3 1 5 2 4 6 3 Where the vertices meet...

And the pattern at each vertex is the same... Where the vertices meet... Semi-Regular Tessellations All these 2D tessellations are on an Euclidean Plane – we are tiling the shapes across a plane Calculating interior angles formula: (180(n-2)/n) where n = number of sides For a hexagon: 6 sides (180(n-2)/n) (180(6-2)/6) 180x4/6 180x4 = 720/6 (720* is the sum of all the interior angles) 720/6 = 120 120* + 120* + 120* + 120* + 120* = 720* Interior angles = 120* each We use 180* in this equation because that is the angle of a straight line Where the vertices meet... Semi-Regular Tessellations 120* + 120* = ? 240* What are the angles of the red triangles? 360* - 240* = 80* 80* / 2 = 40* per triangle (both equal degrees) Creating “Escher” style tessellations...
