What is a tessellation?

• a. A shape with curved sides

• b. A pattern of shapes that fit together without gaps or overlaps

• c. A 3D model

• d. A drawing of flowers

Which regular polygons can form a regular tessellation?

• a. Equilateral triangle, square, and regular hexagon

• b. Pentagon, circle, and triangle

• c. Heptagon, octagon, and pentagon

• d. Circle only

What must be true at each vertex in a tessellation?

• a. The shapes must form a circle

• b. The angles of shapes meeting there must add to 360°

• c. There must be an odd number of shapes

• d. Only one shape can meet at that point

Which of these cannot be used in a tessellation because it won’t fit without gaps or overlaps?

• a. Equilateral triangle

• b. Regular hexagon

• c. Regular pentagon

• d. Square

Which transformation changes the orientation of a shape?

Which property is preserved during a translation, reflection, or rotation?

• a. Only the shape’s color changes

• b. Size and congruency remain the same

• c. Only orientation is preserved

• d. The shape becomes a different size

Which statement best defines a rotation?

• a. Shifting a shape along a vector with no orientation change

• b. Flipping a shape across a mirror line

• c. Turning a shape around a fixed point, changing its orientation

• d. Enlarging a shape using a scale factor

What is a translation of a shape?

• a. Flipping a shape over a line of reflection

• b. Turning a shape around a fixed point

• c. Moving a shape in a straight line without changing its size or orientation

• d. Stretching a shape to make it larger
