Description

A free printable puzzle pack for Lesson 2 of Patterns Everywhere: Can every shape tile a floor?

Explore tessellations by cutting, turning, fitting and reasoning. The pack includes hands-on puzzles for younger learners and deeper geometric questions for older children.

Inside the pack:

• Every triangle tessellates — discover why by pairing copies into a parallelogram.
• The wonky quadrilateral puzzle — test an irregular four-sided shape.
• Regular polygon investigation — which regular shapes can meet perfectly around a point?
• Penrose kite-and-dart activity — explore a non-repeating tessellation.
• Escher-inspired tessellation activity — cut, move and transform a tile into mathematical artwork.

The pack accompanies Lesson 2: Can every shape tile a floor?

Free download.
