1.) Using the Pattern Blocks, students will find and record all the different ways to build the yellow hexagon (same size and shape) from different assortments of blocks. They will record their findings as fractions, so that with the yellow hexagon equaling one; the red trapezoid equals one half; the blue parallelogram equals one third; and the green triangle equals one sixth. Building the hexagon with triangles only would be recorded as 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1. Building with trapezoids only would be recorded as 1/2 + 1/2 = 1. 2.) Homework suggestion: Have students count the number of people at home and determine what fraction of their total family they are; what fraction of the children they are; what fraction of the males or females at home they are. This way they see that the same fractions can represent different objects and sizes of objects as well as a whole unit can be a fraction of a bigger unit. 

1.) Using Pattern Blocks, write the value of each of the other blocks if the red trapezoid equals one.  

2.) Write the decimal and fractional numbers represented by two dimes as part of one dollar. 

3.) Fold a piece of paper more than two times so that you have created several equal, folded sections. What fraction of the whole piece of paper is represented by one of the folded areas? Write that fraction on the area. Can you find other fractions by combining two or more areas? Color or outline their area and write their fractional value.
