Tessellations

A tessellation of a plane is the filling of the plane with repetitions of figures in such a way that no figures overlap and there are no gaps

Tessellations can be drawn by sliding, flipping, and turning certain polygons

Here are some different types of tessellations:

Regular Tessellations

Semi-regular Tessellations

Here's a short video that summarizes how to make a tessellation!
