Share Tessellation PowerPoint presentation to students. Demonstrate how to fit, copy, and paste patterns to generate tessellating patterns within PowerPoint. Have students work together in pairs to create interesting tessellating patterns on each slide. 

Remote Learning: Provide this shared PowerPoint:pptxTessellations-7-8.pptx

Can tessellations work with any regular polygon? Can you tesselate with Platonic solids in 3D?
