How to Make an Escher-esque Tessellation

Here's a quick tutorial on making a funky tessellation art project with just a pencil, protractor, and a sheet of construction paper. This particular way of doing it utilizes an equilateral triangle so that your finished shape will tessellate on a rotation.

    On behalf of my mother, a junior high math teacher, I would like to say thanks! She has used your video in her classes to give an up-front, visual aid that she couldn't do herself. Good luck continuing in the field of education! And way to use technology to aid in the process.

    I wish I had a teacher like you. I’m an Escher fan since I was 16 in 1973, just after he died. I had no idea how he made repeating designs.

    Thank you so much! I am a 7th grade student and we are doing tessellations, and I didn't really get what my teacher said, and the way she explained it. But thanks to you I know what to do know! Thanks! ( btw I wish u were my teacher because you seem to know what your talking about and you explain it very well.) I hope you get a job!

    Very clear, dynamic, descriptive, yet concise presentation which gets students interested. The presentation + instruction are done with confidence (clearly conveying mastery of the subject) and no single word is wasted, no ehms, no solicitation of approval (as we often see for well-studied reasons especially from female math teachers). So, if I would be a principle I would certainly invite you for an interview. BTW: I hope that you DO NOT teach/torture kids w FORGIVING method of long division
