TemplatesAdditionally, after having done the hands-on activity, you may want to print two or more copies of a regular, semiregular, or demiregular tessellation onto transparency paper. This way, you can experiment overlapping two copies of the same tessellation and easily see what results. Click on the icon to the right to proceed to the templates page.
