Every mat has a rule.
A strip crosses the slits, going over some and under others. The rule says which is which.
↳ Row 1 goes 1 under, 1 over.

The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Repeating unit
One small piece does all the work.
↳ Know the unit, know the row.
Opposite rows
Row 2 flips row 1.
↳ That swap makes the chess-board look.
Tessellate
One word, two rules.
↳ No gaps, no overlaps.
Regular shape
All sides the same.
↳ A square is regular.
How many fit?
Count the corners at a point.
↳ Six, four, three.

Weaving Mats and Repeating Patterns
Ammu weaves a paper mat with strips going over and under. We find the repeating unit of a row and use division to jump ahead in the pattern.
- A weaving rule tells each strip when to go over and when to go under.
- The repeating unit is the short piece of the rule that comes back again and again.
- In many mats, row 2 does the opposite of row 1.

Tiles That Fit: Tessellation
Bittu lays tiles on a veranda. We test which regular shapes fit round a point with no gaps, and see how two shapes together can tile a floor.
- A shape tessellates when copies of it cover a region with no gaps and no overlaps.
- A regular shape has all its sides equal.
- Six equilateral triangles, four squares or three regular hexagons close a full turn.

Triangles and Four-Sided Shapes
Farah cuts a rhombus kite into four triangles and rebuilds new shapes. We name triangles by their equal sides and sort quadrilaterals by sides and angles.
- A triangle with two equal sides is isosceles, and its two base angles are equal.
- A triangle with three equal sides is equilateral, and all its angles are equal.
- A triangle with no equal sides is scalene.

Cubes and Solid Shapes
Nisha paints a big cube made of 27 small ones. We count faces, edges and corners, open a cube into a net, and meet solids with many faces.
- A cube has 6 square faces, 12 edges and 8 corners.
- A net is a cube cut open and laid flat, and it has 6 squares.
- In a painted 27-cube, the 8 corner cubes show three red faces each.

Beginner
A Two slits
B One slit
C Three slits
D Four slits

B 1 over, 1 under
C 2 over, 1 under
D Nothing at all
Show answer & explanation

In a row that goes 2 over, 1 under, the unit is ____ slits long.
Beginner
A 2
B 4
C 3
D 6
Show answer & explanation
3

In a 2 over, 1 under row, which way does slit 6 go?
Intermediate
A Over
B It is missing
C Half over
