The main image in the top left shows a radial design created with 21st Century Pattern Blocks. It was built by arranging six regular hexagons around a central hexagon. All seven hexagons share the same composition and have 4” sides. The first image along the bottom shows a scaled-up kite which is used to create the regular hexagon (with 4” sides) shown in the second image. The kite is made of 2 gray darts, 2 teal kites, and 4 green triangles. The three images on the right show the progression of the design.

New pattern block play for October! Using scaled-up kites and hexagons to create larger designs! #21CenturyPB #iTeachMath

This image shows pattern block designs arranged in a 4 by 4 grid, with the center four squares merged to highlight a larger design. It features 13 unique dodecagon wreaths from September.

The image shows a twelve-sided shape created with 21st Century Pattern Blocks. It was built by arranging 6 rectangles and 6 equilateral triangles around a central regular hexagon with each side of the hexagon measuring 2*sqrt(3) inches. The design uses gray darts, yellow hexagons, teal kites, green triangles, and pink triangles.

I was so pleased when one of my Grade 4 students chose this book about the young Ramanujan by Amy Alznauer.
I've been reading it with the class, and also...
