    Hello,
    Thank you for writing this post.
    I really enjoyed reading the post and watching the videos.
    I think 'tessellation' is a fun and a uncomplicated subject in maths.
    I have learned tessellation before and except making the shapes for the tessellation, you can learn it really fast.

    Thank you for your posting.
    I like this activity about tessellation, it is great fun.
    I learnt when a tessellation shape been cut and paste, it still a tessellation shape, we could make animal shapes by cutting and pasting a tessellation shape.
