Tiling at IKEA
I got a bit bored on a recent trip to IKEA, so I started looking for mathematical things to play around with. I quickly found this octagon.
There were plenty available, so I started tiling the plane.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to finish.

Ha! Idea for Ikea is a good typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

IKEA kicked me out for stealing their paper rulers. We measure circles in my class to try to find pi.

I took a couple of those measuring tapes, too. That’s funny that they actually threw you out!
