Kindergarten Builds with Pattern Blocks


During their last visit to the lab before winter break, kindergartners used pattern blocks to create pictures. After a lesson reviewing the six different pattern block shapes (triangle, square, rhombus, diamond, trapezoid, and hexagon) and introduction to sides and angles, students built pictures on the computer. Students learned how to drag shapes to the work space, select shapes to change color, as well as learn how to rotate the shapes. It was wonderful watching their creative juices flowing!
