Hexagon

A tessellation of a flat surface is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries. A periodic tiling has a repeating pattern. Tessellations have several historical and geographical connections. In Isfahan, Iran there are examples of mosaic tilework and tilework incorporating calligraphy within their architecture. In Spain and Islamic…

Thermal images show it reaches some 60 miles down into the planet’s atmosphere. The cause remains uncertain. As Saturn is the sixth planet,…

Maurits Cornelis Escher is one of the world's most famous artist. Escher created unique and enchanting works of art that "explore and exhibit a wide range of mathematical ideas" (Smith).

semi-regular tessellations, monohedral tessellations, and A periodic tessellations. “Let’s explore the wide variety of tessellations we find in nature, functional design and art” (Robert Coolman). The shapes that tessellate are triangles, squares, and hexagons. You can also have other regular shapes tessellate but you have to have different kinds put together. The first tessellations were made with square tiles. Many cultures have come up with different ways to make all sorts of different…
