What fraction is each field worth? What is the value of each field? The value of the farm is $1200. The fields are modeled by the pattern blocks. Each field value is based on size. Make a model of the farm. Compare the size of the pattern blocks. It takes 24 triangles to make the farm. or You can make 4 hexagons out of all the blocks. Each hexagon is worth $300. Each triangle is $50. Field A = $300 Field B = $300 Field C = $100 Field D = $100 Field E = $150 Field F = $150 Field G = $ 50
