Objectives / Objetivos

Content Objective: I can create and describe geometric designs using repetition, patterns, and rhythm, and use a pattern unit to predict what comes next.

Language Objective: I can describe a design using the words repetition, pattern, pattern unit, and rhythm.

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
