Pattern Block Fractions If 2 joint hexagons =1 what is the value of…. A triangle 2 triangles 2 blue rhombi A trapezoid A hexagon joined with a triangle A hexagon joined with a rhombus

More Pattern Block Explorations If the hexagon joined with the triangle = 1, come up with 3 shapes that are greater than ½ but less than 1. If the hexagon joined with the trapezoid = 1, come up with 3 designs greater than ½ but less than 1. If the blue rhombus = 1, what is the value of the red trapezoid? If the red trapezoid = 1, what is the value of 2 connected blue rhombi?

Math Games Quotient Compare- draw 5 cards. Make a 3-digit by 2- digit division problem to make the largest quotient and the smallest quotient possible. Your score is the difference between the 2 quotients. Close to 10- draw 5 cards and make 2 decimal numbers __.__ x __.__. Your score is your different from 10. Close to draw 4 cards and make 2 decimal numbers: 0. __ __ x 0. __ __. Your score is your difference from 0.25.
