Why you’ll love these Pattern Block Snowflakes
You cannot look at cute snowflakes and not smile, right? And as a BONUS: students are practicing making patterns and building new shapes with pattern blocks!
I’ve recently added a Google Drive version of these pattern block snowflakes so your kiddos can create these darling winter items on their computer, too! How cute are these digital snowflakes?
Growing up, I was definitely more of a reader than a math kid. I always had a book nearby to pull out & read when I had a few minutes. It would have never dawned on me to work on math problems, pull out a puzzle or even build something with pattern blocks! It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized that math was more than just word problems and equations!
