Tessellation

In math class we made tessellations. We cut a piece of paper into a rhombus, then folded it in half into an equilateral triangle. By doing so we formed an axis of symmetry in the middle of the rhombus. On my tessellation you can see the axis of symmetry between the seals with the tan tips on their flippers. While the center of rotation is located between the brown seals. We had to trace the symmetry by using the window light to reflect the other side. After completing the final draft we copied it 12 times in the printer. Once I cut the polygons out, I put them together in the shape of a hexagon. I had to use rotation and translation to transform the polygon into the shape of a hexagon.
