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.

    I am a 6th grade math teacher and we were making tessellations this morning. I came across your video and projected it onto my Smart Board to inspire my class while they tessellated! Thank you for the inspiration!

    But what if we want a specific shape, not just a triangle with almost the same perimeters?
