    On behalf of my mother, a junior high math teacher, I would like to say thanks! She has used your video in her classes to give an up-front, visual aid that she couldn't do herself. Good luck continuing in the field of education! And way to use technology to aid in the process.

    Our teacher repeatatively shows us this video before doing Escher Art... Been doing it for awhile now. Thumbs up so she can see!

    I wish I had a teacher like you. I’m an Escher fan since I was 16 in 1973, just after he died. I had no idea how he made repeating designs.

    I am a 6th grade math teacher and we were making tessellations this morning. I came across your video and projected it onto my Smart Board to inspire my class while they tessellated! Thank you for the inspiration!

    Ty for making this video. For some reason I never got to do this project in school and was always a little jealous of the kids that did. I'm looking forward to finally getting to try it out.

    Thank you so much for posting this!! I have a project due tomorrow on rotation tessellations in my intensive Geometry class, and I didn't pay attention when the teacher explained how to do these. You saved my butt.

    Thank you so much! I am a 7th grade student and we are doing tessellations, and I didn't really get what my teacher said, and the way she explained it. But thanks to you I know what to do know! Thanks! ( btw I wish u were my teacher because you seem to know what your talking about and you explain it very well.) I hope you get a job!

    Wow. You're a great teacher. I have to do this for my Geometry class, and it counts as two test grades, and I seriously need to do well. I couldn't seem to understand how to do any of it until I saw this video. Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much for this! My kids loved watching the video (I teach Geometry in a high school in Texas). I'm having my kids do a more involved project but they loved your explanation. I just had to make sure and cough when you said here are some examples from my 6th graders. :)

    Thank-you for this video! I am planning to do this tomorrow with my 6yr old...I wish you had been my teacher! I hated science and math in school because it was BORING! ie: it was taught BORINGLY! now I am obsessed with geometry and because the numbers make patterns I now think math is BEAUTIFUL! because it's the language of the universe!

    I need help, I'm trying to make a pentagon tesselation.
    Yes, I realize pentagons don't "tesselate" because of the gap.
    BUT, if you fold the three pentagons on the edges to make them touch, it will be 3D.
    So, I'm trying to make it 3D.
    But my art treacher said to start with the 5 triangles that fit inside of a pentagon.
    I was wondering if this method would work if I put 5 of the shapes together to make a "pentagon"

    I guess to use other regular polygons as a base, you'd rotate the design based on the angle between the side.
    On second thought, don't answer that. I will try it ...

      1. Find the midpoint of that last triangle side.
      2. Make half of it funky from a corner to that midpoint.
      3. Rotate the funky part 180° around the midpoint.
      4. Take a coffee break.
