    This document provides resources and instructions for a lesson on tessellations of semi-regular polygons. The objectives are to understand why certain polygons tessellate naturally and recognize non-overlapping vertex formations with regular polygon tessellations. Students are tasked with naming interior angle measurements of semi-regular polygons that can form a 360° vertex. Assessments include identifying tessellating polygons and demonstrating tessellations. Additional resources are provided to understand tessellations and semi-regular tessellation concepts.
