Tessellation Kit
Tessellation Kit (Product Code: SLE/LP/14) is a set of coloured rubber polygon tiles used to explore tiling, shape sense and the angle properties of polygons in school maths. It includes triangles, squares, small rhombi, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons and dodecagons, and the pieces stick to any smooth surface once they are wetted. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as school lab equipment for groups of up to 4 learners aged 8–16 years.

What Is a Tessellation Kit Used For?
Children begin by trying to cover a region with copies of just one shape. Squares, triangles and hexagons fit together without gaps, but pentagons will not, however they are turned. Asking why leads straight to angles: the corners that meet at a point must together make a full turn, and a pentagon's angle does not divide that turn evenly.
Older students then mix shapes to discover every combination in which regular polygons can tile a surface — octagons with squares is a classic first find — and record the angle facts that make each one work. Because the wetted rubber pieces cling to a whiteboard, window or tabletop, a group's pattern can be displayed and discussed without glue, making the kit a flexible part of a school lab setup for geometry.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies the Tessellation Kit under its ScienceLab trade name from Ambala, Haryana. Schools setting up maths labs, maths and art clubs, and dealers in India and international markets order it as single kits or in sets for several groups. The ScienceLab profile describes the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which shapes are included in the Tessellation Kit?
The Tessellation Kit includes triangles, squares, small rhombi, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons and dodecagons, made in different colours and of the same size, so children can test which shapes tile a surface.
How do the Tessellation Kit pieces stick to a surface?
The rubber pieces of the Tessellation Kit can be pasted on any smooth surface after they are made wet, so designs can be built on a board, table or window without glue and lifted off again afterwards.
What age group is the Tessellation Kit for?
The Tessellation Kit is intended for up to 4 children aged 8–16 years. Younger pupils use it for shape sense and pattern making, while older students investigate angle properties and the combinations in which regular polygons tessellate.
Why do some Tessellation Kit shapes not tile?
Some Tessellation Kit shapes, such as the pentagons, do not tessellate because their angles cannot fit together around a point without leaving gaps or overlapping. Discovering this helps pupils understand the angle properties of polygons.
Who supplies the Tessellation Kit?
The Tessellation Kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, maths labs and dealers in India and international markets, in single kits or larger quantities for class groups.
