Hexagonal systems are geometric
objects obtained by arranging mutually congruent regular hexagons
in the plane. Such geometric features are usually not considered
in secondary-school courses of mathematics, although these are
easy-to-grasp and probably interesting to students. In this
paper the elements of the theory of hexagonal systems are
outlined. We indicate some properties of hexagonal systems that
secondary-school students could prove themselves, as well as a
few less easy results and open problems.
