Looking back at some of the shapes and designs from my pattern block play in April! #PatternBlocks #iTeachMath
This image shows pattern block designs arranged in a 4 by 4 grid, with the center four squares merged to highlight a larger design. It features 13 unique pattern block creations from April.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. At the center (and in the four corners) are flower-like arrangements made of four blue and four tan rhombuses surrounded by eight orange squares. Around the central design are four dodecagons, each made of two blue rhombuses, four tan rhombuses, four orange squares, and eight green triangles. The gaps are filled in with yellow hexagons. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. It shows an array of nine dodecagons made of one yellow hexagon, six green triangles, and six orange squares. The gaps between the dodecagons are filled in with one orange square and four green triangles. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. Four green triangles and four tan rhombuses are surrounded by four orange squares and eight blue rhombuses, creating a flower-like arrangement. These flowers are arranged in a three by three array. The gaps are filled with orange squares and green triangles. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. An orange square surrounded by four green triangles, four orange squares, eight tan rhombuses, and eight blue rhombuses create a flower-like arrangement. These flowers are arranged in a three by three array. There are also four dodecagons made of four orange squares, four red trapezoids, and four tan rhombuses that fill in some of the gaps. The remaining gaps are filled with orange squares. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.
