A tiling is the repetition of a number of identical flat tiles, arranged in such a way that they do not overlap and there is no empty space left between them. The tiling on the ground floor of the exhibition was invented by the English mathematician Sir Roger Penrose, and is made up of just two different shapes of tile. Now try to use the two shapes yourself.
Fill in the rest of the tiling in the empty spaces alongside the existing tiles, using only the two shapes shown below, then fill in each shape in a different colour.
