The cats and the ducks are also "tiles" that translate/slide/glide left or right, up or down, to fill in the picture. Now take a look at the other pictures on this page. The original line XY is "translated" along the Y axis to make line X 1Y 1. In math class, we'd say that we can move a line along a graph by saying "X=Y" for the original line and "X 1 + 4 = Y 1" for the line that would be 4 boxes above it on a piece of graph paper. So, why do we call it "translation"? Well, we call that movement a "translation" because we "translate" the tile along the X-axis and the Y-axis. This kind of tessellation symmetry- tile repeating- is called Translation and/or Sliding. The tiles in this picture are copies of one another that are simply shifted from one place to another, without tilting or flipping them over or resizing them. The tessellation is made by repeating the tile over and over again, and fitting all the copies of the tile together. This is the basic "tile" shape of the first tessellation on this page.

Key Competencies: Language, symbols and text, thinking Predict and communicate the results of translations, reflections, and rotations on plane shapes. TomĬurriculum Links: Geometry and Measurement - Transformation I made a big triangle out of triangles and I also made a hexagonal shape. I really like doing the tessellation with the triangles. It was tricky trying to write my name backwards so that it reflected the right way in the mirror. We were using tessellation to make a floor for Whaea Karen’s tiny house. This tessellation pattern involves different plane shape but because there are no gaps or overlaps it is still tessellationĭaniel used triangle shape to make a tessellation The hexagon shape makes a beautiful tessellation pattern Travis made a pattern in his tessellationĪna used different sized rectangles to make her tessellation pattern Tessas tessellation that pattern would make an amazing floor
Lachlan T created an interesting tessellation pattern We decided that these bottle caps did tessellate because they have little straight sides all around the shapeĪll sorts of things we had in our classroom made tessellation patterns Using tessellation we had to design a tile floor for Whaea Karen’s tiny house. We linked our inquiry learning about tiny houses into our maths. We had a mirror so we could prove we had made our name reflect. We definitely had to keep trying to get our names to reflect correctly in the mirror Grayson thinking hard about how to make his name reflect Write your name backwards so that it reflects the right way around in the mirror. The three dimensional cube challenge made us think in different ways Here are the six faces of a cube - in no particular order:Ĭan you deduce where the faces are in relation to each other and record them on the net of this cube? Tessellation A pattern of shapes that fit perfectly together A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when we cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps. We used rulers to draw the shapes we translated reflected and rotatedĬredynse showing translation reflection and rotation For example, tiled patterns on floors and some quilt patterns are actually tessellations.įollowing are some photos of our learning experiences:įirst of all we learnt about translation, reflection, and rotation.įirst of all we had a go at translating reflecting and rotating plane shapes on paper The shapes must fit together so that there are no gaps or overlaps. Tessellation involves repeating plane shapes using translation, reflection and rotation.Ī tessellation is when a flat surface, like a floor or a piece of paper, is covered with repeating plane shapes. To rotate a plane shape we turn it around a central point.
A mirror will show us how a shape reflects. We learnt that to translate a plane shape we slide it over. A side is a straight line that makes part of the shape, and a corner is where two sides meet. Different plane shapes have different attributes, such as the numbers of sides or corners. Room 3 have been learning to communicate and record the results of translations, reflections, and rotations on plane shapes.Ī plane shape is a two-dimensional (2D) or flat figure, such as a triangle, square, rectangle, or hexagon. 2019 Athletics Certificates and Medal Recipients.Room 10's Reconnecting and Testing Ourselves.2019 - Aratiatia go to Paradise Valley Springs.2020 I Wonder how the Pyramids are built.2021 Wairakei Interschool Athletics Champions.2017 Learning Celebration - Dare to Care.2021 Learning Celebration - Wonder of Wai.2022 - Tokarewa Opening and Celebration of Learning.
