    The document provides instructions for a geometry project where students will create tessellations using translations, rotations, or glide reflections. Students are given an index card and construction paper to trace a shape across using one of the transformations. They must color their tessellation to match the pattern created. Examples are provided for each transformation type and a rubric outlines criteria for a successful project involving covering the entire paper without overlaps or gaps using an attached index card shape.

    GEOMETRY PROJECT: Tantalizing Tessellations Name ________________________

    Period: ____
    OBJECTIE: Create tessellations !sing "ol#gons and trans$ormations%
    A tessellation, or tiling, of a plane is a collection of tiles that fill the plane with no gaps or overlaps.
    You will receive paper and an index card to create a unique tessellation of a polygon using translations,
    rotations, and/or glide reflections. Using the index card, create a shape that will be tessellated across
    your entire paper &#o! ma# !se an# 'om(ination o$ t)e trans$ormations (elo* to 'reate #o!r
