Tessallation

imageE started learning about TESSELLATION today in World School. I’m not sure how that fits in to 3rd grade mathematics … but, for you English majors like me, tessellation is the process of repeating geometric shapes seamlessly across a page.

S dreamed up a family project this evening for all of us to create tessellate-able shapes and patterns before dinner. The result was super cool — family time around a table, drawing, cutting, and coloring. The collage above shows portions of the repeatable designs that were created.

Earlier in the day, I was settling in to do some writing … when a son asked over my shoulder: Want to go play some soccer outside, Dad?

Pulled in two different, good and right directions. Not so seamless.
