LESSON 2

1. It refers to the ability to analyze information, detect patterns and relationships, and solve
problems on a complex, intangible level.

LESSON 3

1. It is created when a shape or a combination of shapes are repeated over wnd over again
covering a plane without any haps pr overlaps using transformations.
2. It is also called tiling.
3. _______ were first used by the ______ at about 4000 BC to build wall decorations in pattern of
clay tiles.
4. One of the famous tessellation of Islamic architecture.
5. In 1519, who was the first person the complete a study of tessellations after exploring the
hexagonal structures of honeycombs and snowflakes?
6. He is a Russian crystallographer who began the study of tessellations in mathematics.
7. Give five examples of tessellations in nature and manmade tessellations.
8. Enumerate the five stages on the degree of regularity of the shaped used in making a
tessellation.
9. It is a tessellation made of congruent regular polygons or polygons whose sides are all the same
length.
10. It means that the polygons are all the same size and shape.
