What to Focus On

  • A mat can be made by weaving paper strips through slits.

  • Each strip is 3 cm wide and longer than 20 cm.
  • Tessellation means covering a region without gaps or overlaps.
  • Regular shapes have equal sides.
  • Regular pentagons do not tessellate.
  • A rhombus has all equal sides.
  • The rhombus is divided into four triangular pieces.
  • Isosceles triangles have 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
