What is a tesselation?

The term "Polygon" originates from the Greek language, meaning "many angles." It refers to geometric shapes formed when at least three points are connected by lines, creating a flat surface. This resource provides templates for 20 of these geometric shapes, as well as pattern sheets for coloring, showcasing the shapes in mesmerizing tessellated designs. Tessellations, or parqueting, is the ancient art of seamlessly fitting geometric shapes together to form intricate patterns. Rooted in mathematical principles, this practice explores symmetry, transformations, and geometric properties, resulting in visually stunning creations. From ancient wonders to Escher's mind-bending works, tessellations continue to inspire, showcasing the harmonious blend of art and mathematics. Today, they find applications in architecture, computer graphics, and various design fields, highlighting their enduring relevance in modern aesthetics.
