How to use this sheet

  • Have pattern blocks, or the cut-out page, so the child can try shapes before drawing them.
  • Ask the child to try another way to fill the same shape when they finish one.
  • Talk about which blocks make others: two triangles make a rhombus, three make a trapezoid.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving gaps or overlapping blocks. The blocks must fit with no gaps and no overlaps.
  • Drawing blocks that do not match the real block sizes. Trace around real blocks if needed.
  • Thinking there is only one right answer. Most shapes can be filled more than one way.
