The focus of this activity is for students to count a variety of objects in their home environment and write the number for each.

• TLF-IDA004312

This activity uses pattern blocks to explore patterns and the relationship between numbers. Students use the blocks to create and describe other shapes and since the blocks are relational they can be used for other investigations. For example, turn the blocks into units – if the triangle is one what is the value of the hexagon?
