Tessellation

Task description: For maths we did tessellation. For this we cut out a square using card paper (Notebook cover) then we cut out random shapes after we finished we cut in the middle. Then we taped it together and traced over it on a paper. That method is called tiling. after I finished tracing I coloured it in.

Shapes

For maths in team tui we found out the edges,corners,faces,triangles and the total angles. We chose 3 shapes, the shapes i chose were a quadrilateral, hexagon and pentagon. I found out that all 2D shapes have 1 face not 2 and not 3 just 1 face.
