Tessellation in Action: Grade 6

Learners Transform Patterns into Art

This term, the Trade 6 learners explored the fascinating world of tessellation—the art of covering a surface with repeated shapes without any gaps or overlaps. Using the knowledge they gained about transformations—including translations, rotations, reflections, and enlargements—they created vibrant and visually striking patterns.

From simple geometric designs to more complex, interlocking shapes, the learners showed creativity and mathematical thinking in equal measure. Their understanding of how shapes can move and fit together beautifully came to life through their artworks, which now brighten up our classroom walls.

It was inspiring to see how mathematics can go beyond numbers to become a form of creative expression. Well done, Grade 6s!

WHERE WE COME FROM

When does an Idea become cool? When two cool dudes get together and launch a company called Cool Ideas. After a few years of deep thought, Cool Ideas was formally launched in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2011 by founding partners Andre Jooste and Paul Butschi. Between the two partners, a wealth of IT knowledge, networking strategies and LINUX operating systems expertise was unleashed to our cool clients. With a keen belief that fibre was the future they have taken us forward into that future.

OUR COMPANY CULTURE

At Cool Ideas our company culture is really important. We work hard together and we play hard together. Through this we have become a strongly bonded team that strives to do great things together. We believe that customer service is key and that working efficiently as a team is what gives us our edge.
