Summer Pattern Block Mats

Summer Pattern Block Mats are such a fun way to practice shapes, estimating, and more during the summer season!  What an easy way to practice a few skills during the months off from formal academics.

This set of pattern block mats comes in 2 levels, appropriate for 1st-4th grades.  Of course, children that are younger or older than this age range would enjoy them also.

Level 1:
The outline of each individual block shape is given in the Level 1 set. After placing blocks in the correct spaces, students write the number of blocks used in the table.

Level 2:
Only the outline of the image is given in this set. The number of each block is provided, and students must figure out the correct placement inside the shape.
