Pattern Block Puzzles




In our geometry unit we looked at building patterns with different blocks that create the same shapes. The picture shows this being done with pattern blocks. We also created equivalent shapes with geometric solids. We went on shape hunts around the building, searching for cones, cylinders, spheres and rectangular prisms (among others). We played Fill the Hexagon, a game that lays the foundation for a later understanding of fractions. When we finished this segment we created a poster of all the combinations that are the same as the hexagon.
