Tessellate Hexagons (2 Players)

Materials Needed:
• scissors
• BLM: Tessellate Hexagons Game Board (36.0K)
• BLM: Tessellate Hexagons (37.0K)

1. Print a copy of BLM: Tessellate Hexagons Game Board. Then, print and cut out the hexagons on a copy of BLM: Tessellate Hexagons.

2. Pairs of players choose either a set of lightly shaded or darkly shaded hexagons.

3. Player 1 places a hexagon anywhere on the game board so that its vertices line up with six dots.

4. Player 2 places a hexagon anywhere on the game board so that it tessellates with the first hexagon. This means that there are no overlaps or gaps.
Player 2 records a score that is equal to the product of the values on the added hexagon and the values on any hexagons it touches.

5. Play continues until neither player can add a hexagon.

6. The winner is the player with the highest cumulative score.
