Animal Tessellations Worksheet

The learning objectives for this lesson are to explore tessellating shapes and how repeated forms can cover a surface without gaps or overlaps through cutting, sliding, tracing and repetition. Students will explore how geometric and irregular shapes can be transformed into animal-inspired tessellation designs while developing spatial awareness, pattern-making skills, mathematical understanding and creative problem-solving through experimentation with colour, symmetry and composition.
