Tiger Tessellations

Did you know that only three shapes can tessellate by themselves?  The only shapes that can tessellate solely on their own are the triangle, square and hexagon.  Last week, members worked hard on their homework as well as creating math tessellations. Members read an article on what a tessellation is and answered reading comprehension questions about it.   Once they completed the reading comprehension worksheet, members created their own tiger tessellation template and traced this on the paper provided. Next, members decorated it in any way they liked. Here was the end result. Great work members!
