The document defines tessellation as the ability of a shape to fit perfectly together with identical shapes to cover a 2D surface without leaving gaps or overlaps. Through clear examples, it distinguishes between shapes that tessellate, such as regular hexagons, and those that do not, such as specific irregular pentagons. Furthermore, the material introduces the classification of tessellations, specifically identifying regular tessellations, which utilize a single type of regular polygon, and semi-regular tessellations, which combine different regular polygons. This content serves as an excellent resource for students and educators exploring geometric patterns, symmetry, and spatial relationships, offering foundational knowledge for understanding how different polygonal forms interact in planar space and encouraging further inquiry into the limited number of possible regular tessellation patterns.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/tessellations-information-sheet/637926/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/tessellations-information-sheet/637926.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"dhado","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-22",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does it mean if a shape tessellates?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"If a shape tessellates, it means that it can fit together with other identical shapes to fill any 2D space without leaving any gaps or spaces.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is the difference between a regular and a semi-regular tessellation?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"A regular tessellation is created using only one type of regular polygon, whereas a semi-regular tessellation is made up of a combination of different types of regular polygons.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Do all shapes tessellate?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"No, many shapes do not tessellate; for example, irregular pentagons often leave gaps when you attempt to join them together.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},637926,1792897973,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":81},5909893218464,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_085a072bc5b1113ac321206ff7593b45","Name Date  \nTESSELLATIONS INFORMATION SHEET  \nIf a shape tessellates, it means that it will fit together with other identical shapes to fill up any 2d space leaving no gaps. Sometimes it is called tiling.  \nThere are many different shapes that do tessellate, and also many that do not.  \nHere is an example of each:  \nThese regular hexagons dotessellate because they fit together with no spaces.  \nThese irregular pentagons do not tessellate as they leave a gap when you try to join the shapes together.  \nA regular tessellation is when a regular polygon tessellates. The hexagons above make a regular tessellation. There are only three regular tessellations – can you find the other two?  \nA semi regular tessellation is when you have a tessellation made up of different  \nregular polygons.  \nThis is a semi regular tessellation made up of squares and equilateral triangles.","cbCaig8NLEewfXIo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig8NLEewfXIo","pdf",130231,"English","# Understanding Tessellations\n## Regular and Semi-Regular Tessellations","[{\"question\":\"What does it mean if a shape tessellates?\",\"answer\":\"If a shape tessellates, it means that it can fit together with other identical shapes to fill any 2D space without leaving any gaps or spaces.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the difference between a regular and a semi-regular tessellation?\",\"answer\":\"A regular tessellation is created using only one type of regular polygon, whereas a semi-regular tessellation is made up of a combination of different types of regular polygons.\"},{\"question\":\"Do all shapes tessellate?\",\"answer\":\"No, many shapes do not tessellate; for example, irregular pentagons often leave gaps when you attempt to join them together.\"}]","Tessellations Information Sheet | PDF",1792681712]
