Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will identify and name six pattern-block shapes: trapezoid, rhombus, skinny rhombus, square, triangle, and hexagon.
Students will sort a set of pattern blocks by shape using a labelled sorting mat.
Students will build an original design with pattern blocks and record how many of each shape they used.
Teaching tips
Introduce the six shape names using the "I Can Find Shapes!" page before handing out physical pattern blocks, so students can match the labelled picture to the block in hand
Use the "I used:" box on the first "I Can Make Designs!" page as a quick counting check, having students total how many blocks they used altogether after recording each shape
