Pattern blocks consist of shapes that are perfect for creative
design. Additionally, it is an ideal
tool to use to teach basic math concepts, e.g., patterning, basic geometry, visual
perception, and to promote problem-solving skills. To endorse critical
thinking, during a classroom Math
Workshop, patterns blocks was an activity that was provided for creating
pictures.
Here we see Audrey as she explores
geometric shapes while matching different shapes and colors to replicate the
pattern shown. This activity also supports Audrey with good small motor
development and coordination. Although challenging, Audrey stayed with activity
until completion, experimenting with trial and error along the way.
