Family Friday: Creature Cuts

What’s a tessellation of lizards? Is it anything like an exaltation of larks or a leap of leopards? Well, it might be, if all of said creatures were polygons fitting onto a plane with no gaps or overlaps. In this program at the National Museum of Mathematics, part of its Family Friday series, children will learn all about those geometric patterns, known as tessellations. Working with the computer science and math instructor Kevin Lee, they’ll create tessellation window stickers to take home.
