falcons and knights and mps

Tessellations are fun.  It's math and art combined.  The word 'tessellation' also has the same root connections as 'tesserae', pieces of mosaic.  I've been working again in Granville County with 8th graders at all the middle schools doing tessellating patterns that are significant to their school: N. Granville knights (look for the knight's helmet pattern), Butner Stem MS falcons, and Mary Potter, well, MP pattern.  I have one more middle school left, and will be there in a few days with tessellating hornets.
