Tessellations   

These tessellations were created in my Geometry class, using either a slide or a rotational technique.  Each student started with the same shape.  The slide tessellations all started with a rectangle, and the rotational tessellations started with a hexagon.

Below are the top four finishers (and teachers award) from both categories (slide and rotational) from "Mr. Dodge's tessellation art show".
