Thank you again for your purchase of the Easter and Spring Pattern Blocks Activity. It even works well as a small group activity for several students to complete together. The Easter and Spring Pattern Blocks activity is great for use in math centers, as a fun task for early finishers and eager learners, or even as an engaging take home activity for students to complete with their parents. I also like to use these printable blocks to have my daughter create pattern block artwork by gluing the pieces we’ve printed to construction paper. In case you do not have a set of pattern blocks in your classroom, I have included printable ones that are scaled to the same size as traditional wooden pattern blocks. Students can use this sheet to create a graph of the blocks used to create their pattern block design. The fifth data sheet is a graphing sheet. However, instead of using figures found on the task cards, students will create their own to compare. The fourth data sheet is a variation of this one. After drawing, students will compare the two figure in several ways, including which figure contains the most blocks. The third data sheet asks students to draw two of the items on the task cards that they have created. This sheet asks students to develop their own pattern block figure. The second data sheet is a variation of the first. After drawing, students will record data including how many of each block was used in the design. The first data sheet asks students to draw one of the items on the task cards that they have created. You can use one or all five based on the needs of your students. I’ve included five different data sheets. It increases the cognitive level of the activity by making students think a bit more. Instead of simply matching shapes by placing pattern blocks directly on mats, students use the task cards to build designs on a desk, piece of paper, or other surface. The main reason that I do this is to challenge students more. The task cards print four cards to each page. PLEASE NOTE- these are task cards and not full page pattern blocks mats. The cards containing traditional colors are easier to replicate than the ones that contain an outline or are solid black. Since I included four color options, you can provide this activity to students of different levels in your classroom. These cards contain designs that are varying degrees of difficulty. I have included 20 different Easter and Spring themed pattern block task cards. Additionally, there are numerous opportunities that fractions come into play as your students discover facts such as two trapezoids equals the same amount as one hexagon. Each time your student places blocks together, they are developing a sense of shape relationships. They provide endless hours of fun and are deceptively educational. Pattern blocks have been a favorite in our house long before I began homeschooling my daughter. 4 Pattern Block Identification Sheets (1 in each color)- Quick guides that identify each pattern block figure 5 data sheets to be used with the pattern block task cards Printable pattern blocks in three colors- outline, traditional colors, and the extra color scheme 20 Easter and Spring themed pattern block task cards in FOUR colors- solid black, outline, traditional colors, and an extra fun color scheme that I came up with This activity is a fun and engaging way to work on shape recognition and relationships, as well as a basic introduction to fractions Thank you for purchasing the Easter and Spring Pattern Blocks Activity Pack.
