These pieces are going to provide your students with so much enjoyment in the classroom. Pattern blocks, drawstring storage bags, student mirrors, and activity cards are included in this comprehensive class set. Each set of 250 pattern blocks is provided in six colours and six shapes for maximum versatility. The series of colourful shapes are perfect for teaching all sorts of mathematical concepts. In particular, they could be applied to patterns, symmetry, linear and area measurement, fractions, sorting, and sequences. The durable plastic pieces will soon become a go-to resource.

Variety of pieces

The six shapes are square, hexagon, diamond (wide and narrow), trapezium, and triangle. By joining combinations of these shapes together, children could create imaginative pictures, sort the shapes by ‘number of sides’ or shape type, or even represent fractions as parts of a whole. With a thickness of 5mm they are perfect for young children. You’ll also find there are six vibrant colours: red, green, yellow, blue, orange, and cream.

Bonus materials

Alongside the shapes, you are provided with 30 student mirrors, which will allow the children to explore key ideas in symmetry, geometry, area, and measurement. The pattern block activity cards are included to support your teaching, offering colourfully illustrated problems for the children to solve.

Eight sets of 250 will easily keep multiple classes busy and engaged in problem-solving activities. If you’re looking for ideas on how to use your resources, it may be worth looking at Dr Paul Swan’s Pattern Blocks book, which is packed full of guided tasks for young children. All 250 pieces of each set fit neatly into the provided transparent plastic boxes.
