Definition of Tesselation


A tessellation is a pattern formed by repeating a group of one or more shapes over and over again.


There are two rules that the pattern must follow:

  • There cannot be any gaps between the shapes.
  • The shapes cannot overlap

The tessellation in the picture is made out of one shape: a triangle-like shape with wavy edges.
