This activity indulges my passion for tessellations and jigsaws.
It includes the 3 regular tessellations (1 polygon) and the 8 semi-regular ones (2 or more polygons). And one Alhambra Tessellation as a Grand Finale.

More about this activity
This activity combines tessellations and jigsaws. Pieces are "pick up & put down" - no awkward "click & drag" required.
Lots of great extension activity possibilities here - for example, checking out Escher's ingenious tessellations. We also found this interesting site:

Release Notes
Jigsaw activities like Tessellations require touchpad control - tablet mode is not an option.
So the only overt changes in this version are the addition of the version number facility (press v) and an assurance that this activity will now work properly without alteration in a non-Sugar environment.
But I have added some classroom ideas - check out the Homepage above.
