The Pattern Blocks are perfect for teaching all sorts of mathematical concepts such as patterns, symmetry, linear and area measurement, fractions, sorting, and sequences. The durable plastic shapes serve as a go-to resource for understanding geometry and can be used in a variety of ways by lower to upper primary students. 

Colourful shapes

The set comes in six different shapes: square, hexagon, diamond, trapezium, and triangle. These shapes come in a variety of six vibrant colours: red, green, yellow, blue, orange, and cream.

Additional resources

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. In the classroom, children could create imaginative pictures by joining combinations of these shapes together, sorting the shapes by ‘number of sides or shape type, or even representing fractions by using different shapes as parts of a whole. The 12 sets of Pattern Blocks will be more than enough for a classroom and can be used in groups following a relevant lesson.
