Pattern blocks you can use for metric measurement as well as patterns!

There are so many possibilities with 120 pieces, 15 of each shape, that can be used for counting, measurement, algebra, angles or simply for the joy of play!

Everyone who picks up these pieces can't help but be drawn in to explore and make beautiful designs. A great way to start a conversation.

The sides of these translucent blocks are based on a yellow hexagon with a side length of 3 cm.
Each block has the name of the shape printed on it.

Description

Shapes included are: a hexagon, a trapezium, a right-angled triangle, an equilateral triangle; a square and three different rhombus pieces (with angles 60/120, 45/135 and 30/150).

Many activities have been written for pattern blocks but my personal favourite is to have students work out the angles in each of the shapes by only knowing that a revolution is 360 degrees. No protractor required.

As the blocks are metric and the side lengths are integer values, they can be used at all year levels from counting in the early years to later as a concrete material for concepts such as perimeter and area.
