Teachables Wooden Pattern Blocks - Assorted Shapes, Set of 500

Unlock the world of geometry and creativity with these high-quality polished wooden pattern blocks. Made from durable 10mm thick wood, these blocks are perfect for creating three-dimensional patterns, offering a tactile way to engage with mathematical concepts. With six vibrant colours and shapes—yellow hexagons, orange squares, green triangles, red trapezoids, blue parallelograms, and tan rhombuses—these blocks can be used to explore number relations, fractions, tessellations, symmetry, and more. Children of all ages will love using these versatile materials to build, create, and visualise mathematical ideas. The set includes 500 pieces, providing endless possibilities for learning through play and hands-on exploration.

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances understanding of geometry through hands-on activities with shapes, angles, and symmetry.
• Develops number sense by introducing concepts like fractions and number relations through pattern making.
• Encourages creative thinking and problem-solving as students build designs and patterns.
• Supports fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through tactile, engaging learning experiences.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the blocks to explore geometric concepts such as symmetry, tessellations, and angles.
• Incorporate pattern-making activities that allow students to create their own designs while learning about shapes and fractions.
• Challenge students to recreate complex patterns or to use the blocks to model real-world objects and structures.
• Integrate the blocks into a lesson on fractions by comparing and contrasting the relative sizes of the different shapes.
