Math 1512 Mind Map

Tessellations are mathematical patterns where shapes fit together without gaps or overlaps, covering a plane completely. They can be used as an educational tool across various grade levels to teach geometry concepts such as perimeter, area, and volume.

Art work



tessellation is a collection of shapes called tiles that fit together without gaps or overlaps to cover the mathematical plane. The Dutch graphic 
artist M.C. Escher became famous for his 
tessellations in which the individual tiles are recognizable motif such as birds and fish.

There are other shapes that can tessellate an entire area with no extra spaces. In fact, many mathematicians would define tessellations as the tiling of polygons that do not overlap, or contain holes between shapes. 
Escher can be regarded as the 'Father' of modern tessellations.
