Discussion and Supporting Materials
Thought starters
- How does using pattern blocks of multiple shapes push students thinking about partitioning into equal parts?
- Why does Mr. D have students explain their work geometrically, verbally, and in writing?
- How could Mr. D extend this lesson to develop students thinking around adding and subtracting fractions or decomposition of fractions?

1. How does using pattern blocks of multiple shapes push students to thinking about partitioning into equal parts?
By using hands on learning the students use pattern blocks to push them to think about partitioning into equal parts.
2. Why does Mr. D have students explain their work geometrically, verbally, and in writing?
Mr. D has the students explain their work in three different ways because they all tie into one another. Therefore, if they can do it one way they can always find the answer in different ways.

The Pattern Block Triangle Paper is located in the Super Source Pattern Block Resource Books. There is a Fraction Puzzles lesson in the Grades 5-6 book that is similar to this one. Hope this helps. :)
