Pattern Blocks using Google Drawings

Do you use pattern blocks as a manipulative in your classroom?  Eric Curts at Control Alt Achieve has created a template that allows students to use these popular manipulatives, but on a Chromebook using Google Drawings.

Here is a video showing you exactly how to use the template.

Here is the blog post explaining the process as well.  In the blog post you will also find templates for various activities that students can complete using these pattern blocks such as: Horizontal Line of Symmetry, Vertical Line of Symmetry, Ways to Make a Whole, Perimeter of a Garden, Tessellations, etc.

Way to Use in Your Classroom
