Go To
http://mathforum.org/sum95/suzanne/active.html
…on this page you will see where it says < Activity Pattern Block
applet > click this and make some tessellations at
http://www.arcytech.org/java/patterns/patterns_j.shtml
THEN GO TO
http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/tessellate/index.html
Then find the < Dictionary >
on the bottom of the page
http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/dictionary/index.html
Look up the meaning of < tessellations > on this page and READ IT THROUGH
Then go on to the < discussion > and read that through.
On the bottom of that page, go to the < activity > and experiment with the tessellations.
Once you have finished there, there are lots of good sites that allow you to make tessellations.
I like:-
Tessellating Animation
http://www.k4.dion.ne.jp/~mnaka/home.index.html
http://mathforum.org/~sarah/java.gsp/sarah.tessellations.gsp.html
Finally,
Tessellation Town is a place where
the main occupation is making mosaics.
Build your own personal Tessellation
Town at
http://www.mathcats.com/explore/tessellations/tesspeople.html
or visit other tessellation sites.
