Tessellations

4th graders looked at artwork by M.C. Escher and learned about tessellations. Tessellations are shapes that can fit together with any overlaps or gaps, across a plane. First, they created a shape that would tessellate. Then they traced this shape until it covered their paper. Finally, they brainstormed what they thought their shape looked like and drew those details into each shape. Then they colored their tessellations.
