What is the main difference between regular and irregular tessellations?

• Regular tessellations have all sides and angles equal, while irregular tessellations have different side lengths and angles.

• Regular tessellations have curved sides, while irregular tessellations have straight sides.

• Regular tessellations have fewer sides than irregular tessellations.

• Regular tessellations have more angles than irregular tessellations.

Can a shape with 5 sides create a regular tessellation? Why or why not?

• No, because a shape with 5 sides cannot fit together without gaps or overlaps

• Yes, because any shape can create a regular tessellation

• No

• Yes, because a shape with 5 sides can perfectly fill a plane without any gaps

Create an irregular tessellation using a combination of different shapes.

• Use only squares

• Combine different shapes

• Use only one shape repeatedly

• Use only circles

How can you determine if a shape can create a tessellation or not?

• By checking if the shape can fit together with no gaps or overlaps to cover a surface completely.

• By measuring the area of the shape

• By counting the number of sides of the shape

• By checking if the shape has a curved edge
