Tessellation Project

You will create a semi-regular tessellation (see examples above) on a blank piece of 8.5 x 11 paper. Use a ruler and a protractor to create your regular polygons, carefully measuring appropriate interior angles to create your polygon. Use color to create an attractive design.

Fill out the table below (depending on the type of semi-regular tessellation you create, you will either use 2 or 3 rows of the table):

Type of regular polygon

Sum of the measures of the interior angles

The measure of one interior angle

The measure of one exterior angle

SCORING RUBRIC:

All polygons are regular and are accurately drawn. The tessellation should cover the whole paper and have no gaps or overlaps.
