Tesco Engineering Energy-Efficient Stores

Mark Hawker, IMechE Fellow and Head of Engineering Design for Tesco Property Services, discusses the construction and operation of their energy-efficient sustainable concept store. The film looks at the different aspects of engineering involved in transforming a plot of land into a store whilst reducing its...

With the Tesselator you can avoid all the donkey-work and experiment freely with complex and natural patterns, gaining a deep insight into this fascinating area of geometric art. 

Tessellation

This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around tesselation. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

Tessellations

This resource contains eight instant maths ideas, designed to provide students with the opportunity to investigate which polyominoes tessellate, which triangles tessellate, which quadrilaterals tessellate, design their own shape that tessellates and find tessellating patterns in art and nature. Student resource...

The Romans decorated their buildings and towns with mosaic floors and pavements made of very small tiles called tessellae.  From this comes our word tessellation, used to describe ways of filling space.

Tessellations

The resource has three parts.

Continue the patterns 1 provides tessellating patterns produced on squared dotted lattice paper. Students are required to continue each of the patterns.

Continue the patterns 2 provides tessellating patterns produced on isometric dotted...

This file is a collection of regular and non-homogeneous tessellations. They form a useful teaching aid for lessons on symmetry, tessellations and pattern making, and a starting point for the development of more complex designs.

This book on tessellations provides an innovative means of continuing learning experiences on topics from the geometry strand of the mathematics curriculum.
