Decorate a room in a house with patterns made of rhombuses. Choose a part of the room to decorate. Select a tessellation of rhombuses to make. Copy the pattern and see it cover part of the room. Finish decorating the room with two more tessellations. Create your own designs with the rhombuses in the play space. This learning object is one in a series of eight objects.
Objective
Students describe a tessellation as a pattern that has no gaps.
Students use rhombuses to create the same tessellation as one displayed in a virtual sample book.
