Post 9: Mosaics.

Creating mosaics!

Hello everyone,
In this post I would like to tell you about mosaics and tiles. As you can see, it is also closely related to geometry.

Do you know what is a mosaic?
One piece is tessellated when you can put it next to more identical parts with each other. Once the configuration has been achieved these tiles are called mosaic or tessellation.
This has been used all over the world and for a long time ... They were used to decorate furniture, carpets, etc ...



We can work with mosaics in Primary school, firstly I would like to show you the different kinds of mosaics.
There are three types of mosaics:
1. The tessellation of triangles.
2. The tiling of quadrangles.
3. The tiling of hexagons.

1. Mosaic with triangles.

2. Mosaic with quadrangles.

3. Mosaic with hexagons.

Students can work mosaics with paper and colours and with piezes of paper and boould mosaics using different forms in order to create a beautiful mosaic.
Here I share with you these videos, you can watch it!
