Key Idea / Idea clave
Tessellations, Geometry & Mathematical Art. 1. Tessellation: Repeating pattern of polygons covering a plane with zero gaps and no overlaps. 2. Interior angles around every vertex must sum to exactly 360°. 3. Use translations, rotations, and reflections to generate symmetrical tile patterns
