Tessellating Patterns

WALHT: Design and create tessellations to explore transformations.

I designed and created the below tessellating patterns by...

First Pattern

1. Create a rectangle on paint
2. Draw a curvy line on the top of the rectangle
3. Copy the curved line and paste it at the bottom of the rectangle
4. Draw a curvy line on the right side of the rectangle then copy it to the left
5. Erase the rectangle and it’ll leave you with your shape
6. Colour your shape and copy and paste it so it’s symmetrical to make the pattern

Second Pattern

1. Draw a triangle
2. Colour the triangle
3. Copy and paste it so it makes a pattern
4. In the remaining spaces add the same triangle and rotate it 180 degrees
