He was a little sad though that she hadn't given him any ice cream. And he had even been staring! So with a soft sigh, he sat down at a desk and listened to the professor when she officially started the class.

Art...she was in to art? Well, he hadn't known that! It WAS interesting to learn new things from people right? Either way, he totally knew what she was talking about. It were those pictures that seemed to go on and on and.. on with the same shape but totally looked cool.

Alright bad explanation but HE KNEW what he meant in his head so it was alright.

"There's a rotation tessellation!" he answered immediately after raising his hand. "Its a tessellation where the shapes rotates and seem to turn"

If his answer was right, could he have some of that ice cream , cause he was STILL staring at it.

"Yes, rotation tessellation is one," Hadley nodded, sketching that on the board as an example.

"Well in nature, a honeycomb is the perfect example of tessellation."

Nigel would like to see some form of art. It would be a nice change of pace.

"Honeycomb is definitely an example of a tessellation. Classic example of one found in nature even." See! Herbology and Maths DID mix . . . sort of. Even if she wasn't particularly fond of herbology.

Anyway, art? They were talking about art today? The blonde smiled a little and tilted her head, listening carefully and trying not to be too distracted by the ice cream. It was hard work, though. Just saying.

Tessellations were so COOL looking. Ella liked all the different shapes and colors she'd seen in some that she knew of. It made for cool designs and such. As for ways to make them, Ella raised her hand.

"Reflections, Professor! That's when you flip a shape, commonly to the left or right."

"Reflection is another one, yes," Hadley nodded at the badger captain, as she sketched an example of that on the board as well.

"Not really, actually," Fina shook her head at the suggestion of a jigsaw puzzle. "But it can be. There would have to be several puzzle pieces that are the same in shape, just get oriented or reflected to be a different way."

Well, not surprising since there obviously is an ice-cream mania going on. But back to Arithmancy. The professor was speaking of arts, Cassia liked this. She did like to draw and all. Also, the sketch caught her attention. It was really pretty thought complex. But perhaps that was what made it pretty.

"Tiling any regular or irregular polygons could create a tessellations," A general answer but to give an example to it, "like a triangular. " And the other polygons.

"Yes that is how you ultimately would create a tessellation. Repeating regular or irregular polygons," Fina nodded at the young slytherin. "By regular polygon, it simply means that its more symmetrical, such as a square or rectangle or diamond. But irregular would mean if it were like a fish, tiled and oriented in different directions."

And her mind was still on ICE CREAM!

And it was a really good thing that a lot of Anya's classmates were extremely wordy. They practically repeated the question when answering. And this was good news for Anya.

Tessellations. Like... tiles. Anya was familiar with those. Why? Because she often doodled in that type of pattern. She raised her hand. "Rotational tessellations." she offered. Which was more fun than translation ones. But they were significantly more time consuming.

Nodding at the next two students, she didn't really add anything else as they've already been mentioned, but there were two other types of tessellations.

"Like puzzle pieces, a quilt, could be a tessellation but it doesn't HAVE to be." Though the little patches probably were, technically.

How else could they make a te-tessel-lation?

Ummmm. "If you set up a whole bunch of chocolate frogs along a section of the floor. Together they'd make a pattern seeing as they have a fixed shape."

That kinda counted, or was she missing the point entirely. Either way, back to ice-cream watching.

"Actually, that would work and be a very creative and original tessellation!" Yup, even though we not especially fond of that sweet, didn't mean we didn't see how it could work as a tessellation pattern.

"Yes, true enough," Hadley agreed.

For crying out loud an ice creme in class? well that was very relaxing. Somehow her worries begun to deplete at the point her eyes met with that yummy thing her lips wanted to touch. She composed herself when she Relax in her mind at the same time she her something like "tessellation" is it what she heard?
Oh ofcourse right the pattern thing ofcourse this is arithmetic.
All students in the class was with the answers I didn't know what to suggest..Examples were flying from all the end

Yet I said looking at professor.

"Professor tessellation is more related to 3 dimension and higher dimension isn't it? I mean it is more like arrangement of planes. So it is likely it could be in single dimension or two dimension is two planes. I am confused yet I think it is something with more than two dimension. So hexagonal cells, Honeycomb, for that matter any pattern tilling on the ceiling or floor, prism etc. it gives 3 dimensional effect isn't it? "

What has she spoken Alexis has no clue surely she made her very light making her thoughts wonder over the ice cream and forgot to focus on what she actually want to say. Does Professor is going to answer her or will she ask her are you out of your mind?

She waited............

Turning her attention now on a young, newish face, Hadley listened to what she was asking and shook her head. "There are four different ways of tessellations. It is ultimately a regular or irregular shaped object that has been shifted or rotated or flipped into a different position, on the same plane. But it can often give the appearance of it being multiple dimensions, yet it's two dimensional." Did that make sense, maybe?

He was somewhat delayed when it came to zoning back into the lesson. Not five minutes in and the big words had started.

But THIS time Tobias recognised at least ONE of them and he raised his hand. He couldn't exactly answer the question because he never got the logic behind tessellating but he just wanted to show that he knew what was going on (kind of) in this lesson. "At my old school I used to tessellate crosses when my brain was too fast for me to focus. My teacher taught me to do it. Crosses are easy 'cause they're all symmetrical but not boring." That was the only way he could put that.

It wasn't necessarily answering the question but WORDS.

"Yes tessellating crosses would certainly be a valid thing. Or, as I've done here on the board is used our school crest replica as an example, in which I've duplicated on the board." And glided and rotated and translated so they can see all the forms.

Alec looked over at the pattern of squares and triangles that had appeared on the board. So... tessellation. There were different types, right? Depending on the shape and size and all that mathematical stuff that kind of confused him just thinking about. But the translation type... that was the easiest type of tessellation, probably.

Anyways...

"Professor?" he started, raising his hand in the air, "There's also the Glide Reflection one. Erm... the reflection and translation methods are used at the same time to... create a pattern." That was... all he knew about that one so... he smiled and picked up his quill instead.

"Yes, glide reflection is another example. And translation is another, in which no one has mentioned thus far." Hadley nodded at ALEC. Because she totally knew that was his name.

"Yes, if you were to cut open a muggle soccer ball and lay the fabric flat out smooth, then that would indeed be an example of a tessellation." Giving that it was made up of all hexagons, stitched together.

SPOILER!!: Blackboard Examples

"So in regards to tessellations, there isn't much divining that takes place from them but it's simply, a really impressive way to express yourself in art. Before we move on to another artistic form that I'm fond of, as I've done with the hogwarts crest, i'd like you think of an object yourself and tessellate it the four different ways. The object can be regular or irregular."

ooc: you have till tomorrow (Wednesday) evening , 10pm EDT (GMT-4) for this exercise. Be original, as you'll get more points for more originality with this. Graphics and/or scanned-in hand-drawn images would be awesome =). Feel free to post as many times as you need (2+) for your character to consider and draw.
