Discover the beauty of tessellations, repeating patterns that fully cover a surface without gaps or overlaps. From everyday items to fabrics, tessellations are all around us. Learn about shapes like hexagons, rhombuses, and pure tessellations formed by triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular hexagons. Have fun finding tessellations in different objects and understanding the geometric figures involved.

Tessellations Alexander Alvarez
A tessellation is a repeating pattern of figures that completely covers a plane without gaps or overlaps.
Pure Tessellation • a tessellation that consists of congruent copies of one figure.
The only figures that form pure tessellations are triangles, quadrilaterals and regular hexagons This pure tessellation is formed by three joined hexagons
Is this a tessellation? Yes, it is formed by triangles, squares andtrapezoids.
