Create an original design using only the figures given (the pages at the end of this
portfolio contain shapes that can be printed). The side lengths of all of the shapes are
the same so that you can line up their edges to create a tiling. Your design can use
any combination of shapes, but you must use at least one of each shape in your
design. The design you create can be as simple or as complex as you want. It can
have a repeating pattern or it can be random, but it must fit on a single sheet of
paper. Your design can make a recognizable shape or it can be abstract. Use your
imagination! Record your answers below.
Question 1
Describe your design in words. What shapes did you use? Does it have a repeating
pattern? Is it abstract or does it resemble something recognizable?
