This 500-piece set of Medium Plastic Pattern Blocks is a vibrant and tactile resource that supports hands-on exploration of essential mathematical concepts. Each piece is crafted from durable 5 mm thick solid plastic, making them suitable for frequent use in classrooms and learning environments. Featuring six standard geometric shapes—hexagons, trapezoids, rhombuses, squares, triangles, and parallelograms—across six distinct colours, these blocks are universally recognised for developing key skills in pattern recognition, number relations, fractions, symmetry, and tessellation. Their consistent sizing and proportional relationships allow students to investigate equivalence, part-whole relationships, and rotational symmetry in a tangible, engaging way. Whether used for structured mathematical investigations or open-ended creative tasks, these pattern blocks are a versatile and appealing tool for students of all ages. This comprehensive set is ideal for both individual and group learning activities, encouraging collaborative problem-solving and spatial reasoning. With 500 pieces in total, the set includes: 50 yellow hexagons, 100 red trapezoids, 100 tan rhombuses, 50 orange squares, 100 green triangles, and 100 blue parallelograms, all housed in a classroom-friendly format.
Educational Benefits:
- Supports development of fraction concepts through part-whole exploration using proportional shapes.
- Promotes understanding of symmetry, patterning, and geometric relationships.
- Encourages problem-solving and reasoning through spatial manipulation and tessellation tasks.
- Enhances visual and kinaesthetic learning in areas of maths and design.
Classroom Ideas:
