square. Make sure you keep track of the transformations you use. Now switch computers and

see if you can get your partner’s square back in to its home position (also keeping track of the

transformations you use). Now compare the moves you did to move the square with your

partner's moves to get it back. Are they the same? Explain.

4. Now you and your partner should perform 2 transformations (translation, reflection, or

rotation) on a parallelogram. Make sure you keep track of the transformations you use. Now

switch computers and see if you can get your partners parallelogram back in to its home

TESSELLATION PROJECT DIRECTIONS

You are to create your own tessellation masterpiece. Your tessellation will be created based on specific

criteria. You MUST follow the guidelines given in order to receive full credit. The tessellation will be

constructed on white legal size graph paper (I will supply). Your grade will be based on the following.

Tessellation WebQuest (20)

Escher Essay (1-2 page paper and reference page) (20)

Tessellation Creation

Pattern Tessellates the plane (10)

Template with modifications turned in (5)

Appearance and Neatness (10)

Total Points (75)

Part 1 – Tessellation WebQuest (SAS Curriculum Pathways 736)

The tessellation WebQuest is an introduction to the world of tessellations. You will define a

tessellation, identify the properties of tessellations, and take a look at the history of tessellations. In

this quest you will also have to find specific examples of tessellations in nature as well as man-made

tessellations.

Part 2 – M.C. Escher Essay

You are to write a 1-2 page essay on the Mathematical art of M.C Escher. Your essay should include

His background. Who is M.C. Escher? Where he was born? What was his education? Etc.

Escher’s contributions to art and mathematics. How does he integrate Mathematics with art?

Also give specific examples of his work.

What is his nickname? and any additional interesting facts about him.

The paper should be typed, 12 point font, Times New Roman, double spaced, and 1 inch margins. In

addition to the 1-2 pages you are to have a reference page of the websites, or books you used to write

your essay. Spelling and grammar count!

Part 3 – Create your own Tessellation

The appearance of your tessellation should be neat! Your tessellation (pattern) should cover the

ENTIRE page (no gaps or unintentional white spaces). You are to turn in the template figure you used to

create your tessellation. Coloring should be in between the lines, and NO wrinkled or torn projects!

Your project will also be based on Creativity and Difficulty. The more difficult and complex the

tessellation is, then the higher the grade. You may not simply take a polygon and slide, rotate, or reflect

53

it over and over again to create your tessellation. You must use a figure created using one of the

nibbling methods.

What to do

1. Begin by creating a “template” using at least 1 of the nibbling methods. Be sure to label all the

pieces.

2. Once the template has been created, place your template at any of the four corners of your

graph paper and trace your first figure. (the squares on the graph paper should align with the

original square you started with, and therefore your template may hang off the edge of the

paper.

3. Once your figure has been traced slide it or reflect it and trace your next figure (whether you

reflect or slide it depends on the nibbling technique you used)

4. Continue step 3 until the entire page is covered. All your figures on the paper should fit together

so that it looks like a puzzle. Figures at the edge will only be partial images

5. Once you have the page covered in your tessellation, begin to add color in the figure. The figure

can be animated as well (see attached examples for animations).

6. Be creative and have fun with the project!

**Remember the more creative your tessellation is the more points!

54

CREATING YOUR TEMPLATE

METHOD 1: The nibbling technique for geometric transformations:

1. Begin with a square and design from one corner of the square to an adjacent corner. (Do not draw

diagonally). Do not stop halfway across!

2. Cut on the design line, being sure to have 2 pieces when done -the nibble and the rest of the

sheet. There should be no other pieces laying around. This is very important! No trimming

allowed.

3. Slide the nibble across the sheet to the opposite side and tape the straight edges together. (Do

not attach it to an adjacent edge. Do not flip the nibble around. Do not overlap the edges when

taping.) The corners of the piece and the nibble should match perfectly.

4. Repeat the procedure for the other sides

55

METHOD 2: The Rotating and nibbling technique for geometric transformations:

1. Begin with a rectangle and design from one corner of the rectangle to an adjacent corner. (Do not

draw diagonally). Do not stop halfway across!

2. Cut on the design line, being sure to have 2 pieces when done -the nibble and the rest of the

sheet. There should be no other pieces laying around. This is very important! No trimming

allowed.

3. Instead of sliding the nibble, rotate the nibble at its end point to an adjacent side of their

square (not an opposite side). Mark your point of rotation and tape the straight edges together.

(Do not overlap the edges when taping.) The corners of the piece and the nibble should match

perfectly.

4. Repeat the procedure for the other sides

56

Creating a Tessellation Using Reflections:

1. Select any figure you want to use as your pattern (can use a figure from the nibbling Methods or

a combination of both.

2. Then reflect or “flip” the figure repeatedly vertically (over the y-axis). 3. Once you have a row of “flips”, take that row and reflect it horizontally (over the x-axis) 4. Continue Steps 2 and 3 until your paper is covered.

Example

57

EXAMPLES OF TEMPLTAES AND THEIR TESSELLATIONS

Two specific silhouettes or illustrations of animate figures are shown below. They are examples of

alterations of opposites sides of a regular grid by translations

Tessellating shapes can be formed by applying the “nibbling” techniques to both pairs of parallel sides.

An example is shown below.

58

Creating Animate Figures with Tessellations

There are two approaches to altering tessellating polygons into animate figures

1. Have a specific object in mind and to alter the original polygons (rectangle, square, or

parallelogram) sides to make the shape look like the object (nibbling techniques). This approach

may require a bit of trial and error.

2. Create a new shape using the nibbling techniques and then use you imagination to see that you

think it “look like”. Below are two examples

Does the new shape look like anything special to you ? Does it remind you of anything? There are

many things it could be. It could be the head of a person wearing a feather in his cap

Here is a different altered square. What does it look like to you? Maybe a flying owl?
