What is this???
Many ancient cultures have used tessellations.
Johannes Kepler conducted one of the first mathematical studies of tessellations.
E.S. Fedorov proved an aspect of tiling in 1891.
Historically, tessellations were used in Ancient Rome and in Islamic art such as in the decorative tiling of the Alhambra palace
Islamic art does not usuallyuse representations of livingbeings, but usesgeometric patterns,especially symmetric(repeating) patterns.
“I try in my print to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world, not in a chaos without norms, even though that is how it sometimes appears. the nonsensicalness of some of what we take to be irrefutable certainties.”
Most famous creator of tessellations
Born in Holland in 1898 (died in 1972)
Originally studied architecture before becoming interested in woodcuts and printmaking
Did 137 tessellations in his lifetime

Tessellations are arrangement of shapes that cover the picture without overlapping and without leaving spaces.
The word “tessellation” comes from the Latin word “tessera” which means “small stone cube”
Tiling is often another term used for tessellation patterns.
Tessellations around us
Formed by TRANSFORMATION(combination of TRANSLATIONS,

Symmetry When one side
of a figure is a MIRROR IMAGE of the other
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 side1

There are three main types of tessellations: Regular Semi-Regular Demi-Regular
A regular tessellation is a pattern only using one regular polygon shape.
May also called Pure Tessellation.
A regular polygon is any many sided shape that has sides of equal length and angles or equal measure.

Divide the whole turn (360⁰) by the number
of exterior angle (= the number of sides) to
find the size of one exterior angle. Then use
the fact that
the exterior angle + the corresponding interior
angle =180⁰
The sum of interior angles of a n-sided
regular polygons { (n-2) 180⁰}⤬ .
Then the size of one of the interior angle
can be found by dividing by number of
interior angle {=n}.
∠ =(n-2) 180⁰ / n⤬
Determine whether a regular 6-gon tessellates the plane. Explain?
Let 1 represent one interior angle of a regular 4-gon.
m∠1=180 (n-2) / n Interior angle ⁰theorem = 180 (6-2)/4 Substitution⁰ =180 Simplify⁰Answer: As 180 is a factor of 360 .so a 6-⁰ ⁰gon will tessellate the plane .
The sum (total) of the angles around any Point is 3 × 120° = 360°.
This fact is true of all such points where the vertices of 3 hexagons meet and thus the hexagons will tessellate.
This tessellation may be
represented by the abbreviated
notation 6^3 (signifying that three
six sided
regular polygons meet at a
common vertex).
Determine whether a regular 16-gon tessellates the plane. Explain?
Let 1 represent one interior angle of a regular 4-gon.
m∠1=180 (n-2) / n Interior angle theorem⁰ = 180 (16-2)/4 Substitution⁰ =157.5 Simplify⁰
Answer: As 157.5 is not a factor of 360 .so a 16-⁰ ⁰gon will not tessellate the plane.
A semi-regular tessellation is a pattern consisting of more than one type of regular polygon.
The vertex arrangement is the same throughout the entire pattern

by interior angle theorem …Octagon has 135 degree angle of each side…Square has 90 degree 90⁰+135⁰+135⁰=360⁰
Three equilateral triangle and two square tesselate the plane…60⁰+60⁰+60⁰+90⁰+90⁰=360⁰
Determine whether a semi-regular tessellation can be created from regular nonagons and squares, all having sides 1 unit long.
Each interior angle of a regular nonagon
measures or 140°.
Each angle of a square measures 90°.
Find whole-number values for n and s such that
All whole numbers greater than 3 will result in a negative value for s.
Answer: There are no whole number values for n and s so that
Substitution
Simplify.
Subtract from each side.
Divide each sideby 90.
A demi-regular tessellation is a pattern of regular polygons in which there are two or three different polygon arrangements
Tessellation of an irregular shape can be
obtained by Transformation of other
Tessellating shapes.
Irregular shapes are those that does not
have all sides and angle equal .

The metamorphoses consist of abstract shapes changing into sharply defined concrete forms, and then changing back again (a bird changing into a fish, a lizard into a honeycomb).

Tessellations can be found in quilts, floor tiling, and wallpaper.
