What educators are saying
I learned a lot about my students critical thinking skills with this activity and had some beautiful surprises! It was fun to watch their brains work and solve the puzzles.
This is a first year for me teaching ESL students. I feel this is a very important tool for the teacher to communicate as much as for the student to connect their learning.
Description
With this product, students can explore different ways to make various basic 2-D shapes (triangle, rhombus, hexagon, etc) using combinations of other basic 2-D shapes. With these task cards, students use general pattern blocks to actively experiment and compose the new shapes. Included are 16 task cards with specific directions (example: make a trapezoid using 3 triangles), 12 open-ended task cards (example: make a hexagon using 6 shapes), 4 rich math worksheets, 4 rich math task cards, and pattern blocks your students can cut out to use!
