Your job is to construct the tessellation and describe the types of symmetry used. Therefore you will need to research how tessellations are created, how shapes are reflected, rotated, and translated to create patterns. You will use your mathematic and building skills to complete your portion of the group art project. |

| *record and organize the following information obtained for the following duties. This will be collected as part of your group project. | |||||||||||||
| Duties | |||||||||||||
| 1. List and describe four types of symmetry that can be used to create tessellations.
2. List some geometric shapes that can be tessellated. 3. Decide what types of symmetry you will use in your tessellation. 4. Think about what kind of materials your group will use to construct your tessellation (construction paper, posterboard, markers, paint, computer applications, scissors, etc). 5. Practice constructing simple tessellation shapes to prepare yourself for your group project. Keep your results. |
