Fun with Pattern Blocks
Pattern blocks are a math manipulative that students use in class to explore math concepts. Kidspiration, a graphic program that we have on the computers, has a virtual pattern block component. This week, first graders were "building" with them, using many of the same techniques used in more sophisticated paint and drawing programs - with a little word processing for practice.
