Christmas Tessellations Holiday Math Art and Craft Activities Project

This a set of Christmas math worksheets/Holiday themed math craft activities. These Christmas Tessellations allow students to do something a bit creative during the holiday season while still doing math. This could be more than a whole lesson if you get the students to tessellate a design and then also color it (great for displays!). Use as a one off lesson, for early finishers, for sub plans, create unique greetings cards or create a great display for your classroom!

For information on tessellations go here: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/tessellation.html

Instructions:

A tessellation is when you cover a surface in pattern of flat shapes with NO GAPS.

Easy - print off the template (big or small) and cut it out on card. Students should try and use the template to make a repeating pattern with the shapes with NO gaps (see the Examples of how to tessellate the shape to see how it fits together). When they have filled out the whole page then they could color it in.

Harder - Give students one of the squared sheets without a template and get them to tessellate the given shape using the squares as a guide.
