Latin. Tessellation came from what Latin word? Hmm.
"Professor, I think it comes from Tessera which is like a cubed tile." And that totally made sense since the patterns that Tessellations made were often used in art work and in decorations and such. Mhm! Quote:

She sat forward in her seat, waiting for the ice-cream to start being handed out but that didn't happen. She just started asking more questions.
Bliiiiiink.
That wasn't how stuff was supposed to work. Not to mention this seemed more like something she wouldn't find in the text. Or maybe it was? Was it? She didn't feel like digging through that book again. Once per lesson, that was how books worked. If you looked at them too often they would get the wrong impression and think you actually liked them.
Hmm...answer...
"What Ella said." Nodnodnod. Ice-cream noooow? Quote:

Daichi BEAMED in pride when he looked down at the sticker before looking around the room. His BEAM of pride faded away immediately when he saw that EVERYONE got a sticker for their art work.
MWWEEEEEEHHH!
"i don't know the Latin word but doesn't it mean "Small stones" or something?" he half answered after raising his hand in the air. "Professor" he quickly added afterwards. Quote:

His mouth was watering and his stomach was growling. He needed ice cream and he needed it fast. Quote:

...and Latin. He knew Latin. Yep....totally did.
Nodding at Ella, Dylan offered facts. "Tessella, which is taken from 'tessera' is what I read in the book...and in Latin, that's a cubed-shaped piece of either clay, stone, or glass...that's then used in making mosaic art stuff...'Tessera' itself means 'small square', though." See? He was smart, too.
Also, he and Beezus has seen a ton of mosaic-style art when they'd went to Spain last summer. In Rome, too. Dylan had photographed all the things for his portfolio. Quote:

She nodded at the other students' answers and joined in. "That all sounds correct, what they're saying about the word tessera. I've heard of something called a Tesseract too and it's a cube inside a cube or something, so that all sounds like the same thing - square type thing." She wondered now about all the parts of the word, like te and tess, and er, and all that. Did those have little baby meanings too? "Yes. Tessellations come from the root word Tessella, which comes from tessara .... tessella means small tile, which is ironic since small tiles are used in creating mosaics." Neat, yes? Of course it was. But enough of artwork. "And technically, there are little squares on an ice cream cone." Beam. See! The treat WAS related!
"Enough about art though, we'll be moving on to another topic, which is similar to art in a sense." She paused a moment, as she prolonged telling them of the next topic in today's lesson. "Music. Math, or arithmatics, can be used to create music. Sound is a travelling wave, which oscillates through matter. An important term in music is called frequency; what is it measured in and what does it mean?"
