2. Use the following website:   http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/tess/sqtile.htm
   to practice making a tessellation starting with a triangle, square or hexagon.
   
3.   Use the instructions given to you by your teacher to create your own tessellation.  You will need an index card and tape to get started.

           After creating your template, talk to your teacher about the next steps in this project.

If you have time, here are two animated tessellation sites on the web.
