Conclusion

Now you have completed an introductory study of tessellations!

You have discovered accurate definitions of tessellations.

You have also learned about tessellations that can be found throughout the centuries in numerous civilizations.

By following step-by-step instructions,  you have imitated two tessellations. 

Finally, by using the original shapes of a triangle and a square, you have changed their forms and repeated those patterns to create your own unique tessellations.  

If you are interested in creating more tessellations, they can be made from scratch like you did for this project.  Or you can use the programs,  TessellMania or The Geometer's Sketchpad to very quickly and easily draw tessellations.   With these programs, you can make changes in your tessellations.    Then, you  will be able to draw conclusions as to the effects of different changes upon  the final outcomes of the drawings.
