Block Designs

Developing fluency with long division is a big step in the education of young mathematicians. With the support of base ten blocks, learners deepen their understanding of the operation in this elementary math lesson. Although it indicates...

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.

Explore linear and square dimensions by comparing areas of similar figures. A creative set of five activities designed for elementary through high school classes asks young scholars to compare areas of specific polygons. The first two...

In this pattern block worksheet, students use pattern blocks to create a symmetric design within the shapes. The designs must follow four different rules.

You don't have to be a Minecraft wiz to know that this app has great playability for your learners! As afterschool programs and classroom projects around the world demonstrate, this game goes well beyond placing blocks and traditional...

Pupils will develop an understanding design space. The arrangement of shapes is taught to create simple perspective. The differences in the size of shapes is shown in order to help learners see how they should be arranged in relationship...

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...

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

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

In this geometry worksheet, upper graders use pattern blocks as a basis for identifying lines, angles, and shapes. Then they compare and contrast properties of various two-dimensional shapes. Pupils also create a block quilt from paper...
