General Instructions:
1) Maths holiday homework is divided into 2 parts : Part A & Part B
2) Part A consists of Art integrated project work based on Tesellations.
3) Part B consists of an assignment to be done in weekly assignment register.

PART-A

ART INTEGRATED PROJECT: TESELLATIONS

Tesellation is a repeated pattern of closed shapes that cover a surface with no gaps and
no overlaps.Geometrical shapes that can tessellate are square , equilateral triangle and
a regular hexagon.Using the above shapes (considering the side of each polygon to be
5cm or 6cm) , create a tessellating Shape (refer to the ppt shared in your class
whatsapp group).
1) Choose a) A T-shirt (white / pastel shade)
OR
b) Table cloth (50cm × 50cm)
2) Trace the tessellated design on the T-shirt or Table cloth.
3) Using fevicryl paints and different colour combinations , paint the tessellated
design.
4) Give a brief write up describing your work in Mathematics practical file and
also the pattern drawn.
5) Click a picture of yours wearing the T-shirt designed by you or holding the
table cloth in your hands and paste it in your practical file.

PART-B
