Tiles, tiles, tiles! The tiles in your house tesselate, so YES, don't think that tesselation is NEVER used! The pattern on your vase... TESSELATE! Even your piano keyboard tesselates. To tesselate means that they fit together without having any gaps or spaces. Tesselation is important because if the tiles didn't tesselate it wouldn't look that nice. Tesselation is also used for beautiful patterns that are just about anywhere! Tesselation is very fun to make. Some people also think creating tesselations can also be like creating puzzle. Here's an example of a tesselation: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/polyhedra/tessellations/inf7.gif Or for more research go to www.Google.com and type the word "tesselate". You'll find tons of information that will help you understand better

How many different types of semiregular tessellations are there?
There are eight different types of semiregular tessellations. Also called Archimedean tessellations, they occur when two or more convex regular polygons form tessellations of the plane in a way each polygon vertex is surrounded by the same polygons and in the same order.
