If you are stuck for ideas you could make a 3-D version of the robot you designed!

Open page 5 of your Health and Wellbeing booklet and follow the instructions there. Make sure and tell your teacher something you hope to achieve in 2020!

2D Shape Tiling

We can use most 2D shapes to tile and make patterns because they have straight edges and corners.  They don’t leave any gaps in between.  2D shapes that aren’t suitable for tiling are shapes with curves as, no matter which way you arrange them, there will still be gaps in between.

Watch this video clip on tiling:

Here are a couple of examples of how different 2D shapes can be arranged but they all slot nicely together.

 

Now it’s your turn.  Can you create your own tiling pattern or picture using the website below?  You can turn the shapes around and mix them with others but they must all slot together without gaps.  Take a photo of your patterns and send them to your teacher.
