Tessellation Techniques and Concepts

The video tutorial covers the concept of tessellations, a form of 2D geometry where patterns are made up of shapes that fit perfectly together. It provides step-by-step instructions for creating various tessellations using squares, rectangles, triangles, hexagons, octagons, and rhombuses. Each section focuses on a different shape, guiding viewers through the process of drawing and completing these patterns using reference images and tools like rulers and pencils.

What is a tessellation in the context of 2D geometry?

• A pattern made of shapes with gaps

• A pattern made of shapes that fit perfectly together

• A pattern made of overlapping shapes

• A pattern made of random shapes

Which shapes are commonly used in tessellations?
