Picture Patterns with Pattern Block
Recognizing patterns are a great way for young students to organize their world and are very important in all aspects of mathematics. These 48 activities consist of two formats with 24 pictures each. In the first format, students match blocks to outlines and learn to develop mental images of these key geometric shapes. In the second format, students must decide how many of each block they need in their solution before proceeding. Practice at this level builds spatial sense. Thinking of shapes, how they fit together, and how many are needed builds the concept of area. (NCTM Standards) With experience and practice, students will come closer to pre-selecting the right assortment and number of blocks. Gr PreK-3.
