Pattern Blocks

Pattern blocks are shapes like triangles, squares, hexagons and rhombuses. Putting them together in different ways makes tessellations and helps you understand angles and fractions.

๐Ÿ’ก Fun fact

Two triangles from a pattern block set make a parallelogram.

All about Pattern Blocks

Pattern blocks are shapes such as triangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids and hexagons. They are often made of coloured plastic and can be fitted together in many ways. Putting them together helps you understand angles, fractions and tessellations.

Two triangles from a pattern block set can make a parallelogram, and six triangles can make a hexagon. Building patterns with blocks is an enjoyable way to explore geometry.
