Slide cut piece directly across lining up the corners, and tape into place. Trace their shape over and over on a blank sheet of paper creating a tessellation. Identify the many color choices to use on their tessellations. Students put name on back in pencil. Begin hanging up finished tessellations on the wall.
Students can hang up their own piece of artwork.
Once the tessellations are complete have students look at the finished artwork on the wall. In pairs have each student identify one point on another tessellation that they liked. The teacher will ask students to summarize the importance of line, shape and color in their tessellations. The students will reflect on how different all of the shapes, lines, and colors are in each of their pictures, yet they are all tessellations. Teacher will visually check completed tessellations by each student.
