Tessellations

This week in math we got a choice of what we wanted to do.  We were finishing off our geometry unit with it a mathematical art week. I chose to do tessellation.
First we had to investigate our chosen topic and create a DLO about it.  Here is mine:



Then we got to create our art. I made a tile using google drawings and printed it out.  Then I glued it onto card and cut it out to make my stencil. Finally I very carefully traced it to make my tessellation and coloured it with pastel.  Here is my finished art.

             

I really enjoyed this week's maths as it was something different and we got to choose our own topic.
