Why You'll Love These Thanksgiving Pattern Block Mats + Mini Book

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!

In the classroom, it's easy for me to spot the “book” kids. You know who they are – the kids who would rather visit your classroom library or write in their journal than pull out a Logic Puzzle!

To lure those kids in {and lead them to realize much sooner than I did that Math is SO MUCH more than numbers!} you can use fun pattern block mats to make math fun!

The Pattern Block sets focus on building the picture using pattern blocks and filling out the mini book with the number of blocks used. These are perfect for Kindergarten and the beginning of the year first grade when reviewing our one-to-one correspondence.

So, purchase now to make this Thanksgiving season a fun math season!
