Problem Solving Using Pattern Blocks

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

Young scholars explore patterns involving objects or figures and geometric shapes. They identify the missing shapes in patterns and discuss what would come next in the pattern, analyze patterns using different objects, and complete a...

This video looks again at finding the algebraic pattern in sequences. In the example, we are looking at a figure where several toothpicks (or lines) are added each time, and you need to find how many toothpicks will be in the 50th...

Students can download pattern block grid paper or cutouts for class activities. Included is an activity comparing the relationships of fractional parts called, "What's My Number?" Links available to other pattern block and fraction...

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 lesson, you will learn to create equivalent fractions by building with pattern block shapes. Login gives access to a slideshow and additional videos. [5:28]

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...

The generation of a number, or shape pattern, is the focus of this math lesson plan. Pupils are presented with a variety of patterns shapes, and number patterns, then use worksheets embedded in the plan to gain further practice. The...

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

Learners 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...
