Introduction to the project (Provided by the school) : 

Tessellations have aroused our interest since we began seeing a set of spherical puzzles. We felt surprised about why all pieces of the puzzles can join together.

We started to search in the Internet, we found out that it is involved Tessellations. Tessellations are easily found everywhere in homes, from common kitchen floors to art work especially those Escher’s design. We also found that the making of the Tessellation is based on the rules of symmetry. We were so amazed that we were going to have a chance for learning more through a mathematics project.

With the reference of Escher’s designs, we soon knew that there are four main types of symmetry-they are translation, reflection, rotation and glide reflection. We tried to cut some irregular shapes of pictures following the symmetric rules with a square paper, and them we put them together. From observation, there was no gap between two different papers! They were enclosed together and became a tessellation. Later this detection, we tried to cut papers into different shapes and make tessellations by ourselves.

Until the project was finished, we were all surprised that tessellation is so easy for us to make a unit one! Just follow rule of symmetry, add more imagination, we also could be an excellent designer same as Escher!
