Create Advanced Tessellations
On the template pages in this math art activity guide, each construction guideline represents a choice for the creative artist. Each page will be different for every person. And whenever you come back to the same template, you’ll discover a fresh design.
Print any template page and study the guidelines until you find a shape you like—perhaps a triangle, kite, or star. Trace it with your pencil. Then search out repetitions or rotations of your chosen shape. Look for a complementary shape between or overlapping the copies of your original discovery. Trace any additional lines you need to weave the shapes together into a design.
Some of the templates are based on classic Islamic tessellation patterns, others on geometric relationships that seem interesting.
What kind of tessellation art will you create?
This activity book features twelve templates, each in two sizes, for endless creative play.
For ages 10 and up.

FAQ: HOW IS AN EBOOK DIFFERENT FROM A PRINTABLE ACTIVITY GUIDE?
FAQ: HOW IS AN EBOOK DIFFERENT FROM A PRINTABLE ACTIVITY GUIDE?
The ebooks are written to be read. They include more inspiration, background information, and teaching tips, but do NOT include printable student pages.
You can think of the ebooks as a "teacher's manual" for their related printable activities.
The printable activity guides include brief teacher instructions, but the focus is on the student handout pages, making the activities easy to use in a classroom or homeschool. Many of the printable guides also include math journaling prompts and decorated pages for student writing.
Ebooks come in two formats: DRM-free EPUB file (for reading on your phone or ebook reader) and a PDF (for reading on a tablet). The activity guides come in printable PDF format only.
Either type can stand alone, though we believe they work better together. If you're on a tight budget, the ebook is often the better deal.
