Why We’re Here:

1. We’ll make our own tessellations from a hexagonal base.
2. We’ll review the methods for finding area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles.

Why We’re Here:

1. We’ll apply and derive translations from figures in the plane.
2. We’ll discuss tessellations, which regular polygons tessellate, which don’t.
3. We’ll get our hands dirty with triangles & quadrilaterals, devising a method for tessellating both of those.

Why We’re Here:

1. We’ll understand the difference between rigid and non-rigid transformations.
2. We’ll discuss the three kinds of rigid transformations and practice identifying them.
