The glass-paneled pyramid at the Louvre Museum in Paris is a tessellation of rhombus-shaped glass panels. Students create a model of the pyramid to calculate the number of panels used to cover the surface area of the pyramid.

In this program we look at applications of transformations. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at translations and rotations in the context of roller coaster rides. In the second example we look at translations in three-dimensional space in the context of cargo ships. In the third example, we look at the design of observatories to look at rotations, reflections, and symmetry.

Cargo ships transport tons of merchandise from one country to another and accounts for most of the global economy. Loading and unloading these ships requires a great deal of organization and provides an ideal example of three-dimensional translations.

The Gemini telescope in Hawaii is an example of architecture that moves. All observatories rotate in order to follow objects in the sky. This also provides an opportunity to explore rotations, reflections, and symmetry.

Roller coasters provide an ideal opportunity to explore translations and rotations. Displacement vectors are also introduced.

Definition

A tessellation is a repeating pattern of geometric shapes that covers a plane without gaps or overlaps.

Description

Tessellations are fascinating geometric arrangements that play a significant role in both mathematics and art. They occur when a surface is completely covered by repeating shapes, leaving no gaps or overlaps. In geometry, tessellations demonstrate how certain shapes can fit together perfectly to create intricate patterns. The most common shapes used in tessellations are regular polygons, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons, due to their uniform angles and sides.

This is part of a collection of definitions of geometric theorems and postulates.

Geometry Concepts

Description

This image shows a tessellation pattern formed using basic shapes from pattern blocks. Pattern blocks typically include shapes such as equilateral triangles (green), squares (orange), rhombuses (blue), trapezoids (red), hexagons (yellow), and parallelograms (tan). These shapes fit together without gaps or overlaps to create a continuous pattern.

Pattern block tessellations are excellent for exploring geometric concepts such as symmetry, transformations, and spatial reasoning. They provide a hands-on way to understand how shapes can be combined to cover a plane completely.
