It seems like it is just cutting a piece from the figure and just sticking it to another end of the figure...

so from what i've read so far, transformations have to do with rotations, reflections, and translations where as tessellations are just a tiling of a sort where shapes repeat in a certain pattern without gaps in it. the image in this link sums up their relationship. You can read further on it to get more insight. So basically, you need transformations of all sorts to make tessellation actually happen. you may need to rotate a few shapes and translate them or reflect them so as to create the pattern in the tessellation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_%28function%29
