Tessellate
This activity allows the user to generate a polygon that will repeat without overlapping across a plane. Starting from a rectangle, triangle or hexagon, the user bends the lines of the polygon, creating a new polygon. The user can choose several different colors to enhance the pattern, and can observe the different effects that colors have on tessellations.
(Personal Note: Make sure to click on the "Instructor Tab" for many more Tessellation resources.)
