      Q: What are the rules for creating tessellations?

      Tessellations are a type of geometric pattern formed by repeating shapes without overlapping or leaving gaps. This is achieved by creating a repeating pattern of shapes that fit together like a puzzle. The repetition of shapes creates a captivating visual effect, often featuring symmetry and order. Artists and mathematicians have long been interested in tessellations for their unique combination of art and mathematics. By understanding how tessellations work, we can appreciate the math behind the aesthetics.

    • Repeating a single shape
    • There are various methods to create tessellations, including using digital software, creating handmade designs, or using stencils. Experimenting with different software and techniques can help you find the approach that works best for you.
