Pattern Block Flexible Unit Fraction Cooperative Activity

Do you have pattern blocks? Traditionally, we know the triangles as sixths, rhombi as thirds and trapezoids as halves. But what if we changed this a bit? Suppose the trapezoid was not 1/2, but 1/4? What would that make the green triangles? What would "1" look like?

If you want to deepen your students' understanding of fractions using manipulatives and having children work together on a very engaging and challenging set of tasks, then you'll want to buy this. This unit, complete with lesson plans and answer keys, is definitely nothing like you've seen before: it challenges children to look at fractional "pieces" and figure out what the whole and parts would look like.
