Pattern Blocks Teacher Resources

Who needs to buy pattern blocks when you have this printable pattern block template? Including triangles, squares, trapezoids, rhombuses, and hexagons, this resource offers endless possibilities for teaching children about geometric shapes.

Give scholars the gift of knowledge with a present-themed pattern block mat designed to reinforce geometry skills. As they compile the blocks in the correct order to complete patterns, they form a lovely picture of a holiday gift.

Add a touch of holiday cheer to pattern block practice with a mat featuring a Christmas wreath. As kindergartners work on their shape identification and pattern completion skills, they create a beautifully festive picture.

Add a touch of winter flair to geometry practice with a pattern block mat shaped as a snowflake. Preschoolers and kindergartners can work on both shape recognition and pattern identification as they form beautiful snowflakes.

Snowmen don't have to be three stacked circles! Practice geometry skills with a holiday-themed pattern block mat that features two smiling snowmen.

Put the tree back in geometry! Explore shapes and celebrate Christmas while using pentagon, square, and triangle pattern blocks to create a Christmas tree.

What do a bunch of rhombuses, squares, and pentagons create? A snowman on a pattern block mat! Let young mathematicians explore shapes to create patterns in this hands-on activity worksheet.

Add some holiday cheer to geometry practice with a Christmas themed pattern block mat in the shape of a wreath. 

Challenge your learners to give clear and concise directions in this shape-name practice activity. In partners, they place a dividing "wall" between them, with pattern blocks and a grid on each side. Partner A places one block at a time...

In this using pattern blocks to create a design worksheet, students read and apply criteria to create a design with pattern blocks, trace it, and draw lines of symmetry. Students complete four pattern block activities.

Pattern blocks are one of the best math manipulatives ever invented. They are used quite extensively in the math lesson presented here. Youngsters use the pattern block to fill in shapes that are present on the worksheet embedded in the...

For this Pattern Block Pieces worksheet, students fit pattern blocks into a given pattern block design. The design includes two angles of the same shaped, one flipped upside down.

Young cartographers in groups hide treasure at school and then create a map to find it using pattern blocks and tiles. They make paintings with clues to create a visual representation of the location of their treasure. Groups present...

Here's a great lesson that uses one of the best manipulatives there is: pattern blocks. Elementary schoolers must fill in a variety of shapes using specific amounts of pattern blocks. This forces them to do some spatial mathematical...

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that is about the finding of different fractional sizes with the help of pattern blocks. They define the vocabulary terms of numerator and denominator. The lesson also uses geometry and relates it...

In this pattern blocks worksheet, students look for missing pattern blocks, record them in a graph, and then put them away. The graph contains a picture of each pattern block.

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to complete patterns, puzzle, and area centers. For this pattern blocks lesson plan, 4th graders also demonstrate fractions and use the SMART Board with their pattern blocks.

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

In this pattern blocks worksheet, students cover the given shape with pattern blocks and trace each block in the design. Students make sure the design has the dotted line as a line of symmetry.

Students use pattern blocks to help them complete fraction problems. In this fraction lesson plan, students complete problems on worksheets provided.

Students assign value to different shapes of pattern blocks, and estimate values and use process of elimination to determine values. In this pattern block values lesson plan, students trace each block on a worksheet and use 5 blocks to...

Young geometers distinguish between mirror symmetry and rotational symmetry and construct pattern block designs demonstrating both. They then work together to find examples of each kind of symmetry on campus (or at home). They photograph...

In this pattern blocks Christmas worksheet, students look at a pattern and build a Christmas tree out of pattern blocks. An original for pattern block copies is provided.
