This will enable you to see if they have managed successfully to create a tessellating/tiling pattern using two or more different shapes. Review the quilt patterns the children share with you.

Also, ask children working from home these questions to ensure they understand and so that you can support them if they do not. Work with them to support them to use appropriate vocabulary. Focus questioning on the properties, names and sizes of the 2D shapes they are looking at.

Listen as children work together to identify any misconceptions they may have.

Identifies examples of tiling in the environment and applies knowledge of the features of 2D shapes to create tiling patterns incorporating two different shapes. Some special kinds include regular tilings with regular polygonal tiles all of the same shape, and semiregular tilings with regular tiles of more than one shape and with every corner identically arranged. A periodic tiling has a repeating pattern. In this STEM activity, children are challenged to use non-regular shapes to create tiling patterns. In mathematics, tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries.

Children can investigate tiling further and create more complex designs using the Tessellation Creator.

Ask them to use at least two different shapes and two different colours to create their own quilt design.

Show children these pictures of quilt patterns.

Tell them that this time they will be designing a tiling pattern using more than one shape.

Remind the children that, in the last activity, they created a tiling pattern using different sizes of the same shape.

This activity is designed to encourage children to apply what they have learned about 2D shapes and tessellation/tiling patterns in a new context. I can explore and discuss how and why different shapes fit together and create a tiling pattern with them. Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) experiences and outcomes: First level
