This was my favorite activity with pattern blocks! Making
animals, houses, flowers, and seeing how shapes work and fit together. This kit
includes 10 games, including 4 pattern block workbooks for making designs. Not
only will students learn to recognize patterns, but they will also name shapes
and work on spatial visualization. These are fun games and activities that the
whole family will enjoy. The Math Minibooks are reproducible mini workbooks for
students to use and collect as they progress through their skills. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Shape Games & Puzzles Family Kit
Knowing the name of a geometric shape is just
the beginning of understanding the details about it, just like remembering a
person’s name is only a small part of knowing that person. It’s important for
children to look carefully at the characteristics of a shape, understand which
attributes define it and investigate its similarities to and differences from
other shapes. The games included invite children to explore shape attributes,
put shapes together to make larger designs and use spatial reasoning as they
flip, slide and rotate the shapes to fit.
Includes Teacher Guide, Math Minibook and all the materials needed
to play. Teacher Guide provides an overview of the research behind the games along
with easy-to-follow directions to each game and QR codes that link to videos
about how to play each game as well as the mathematical concepts covered. The Math Minibookcomplements
the games with short stories and play-along activities that teachers or families can read and
color with the children.
Children will beg to do math with these interactive math
kits that include a variety of games, the necessary pieces to play the games,
math minibook templates to assemble, and a Teaching Guide. The helpful Teaching
Guides include introductory information on the program, the research behind the
math games, tips for gameplay, common math-related vocabulary words, questions
to ask while playing, and the instructions for the games. An included QR code
takes you to a video that shows how to play the game. Reproducible Minibooks
include short stories and play-along activities to reinforce math concepts from
the games. Each set includes 7-10 games. These Family Kits contain enough
resources for one family to play.
