You can use it for much more than just creating patterns! With this book, you will be able to use the pattern blocks to it’s full potential. Learn how you can use different shaped blocks to create the same shape, or find out more about different types of symmetry. They can also be used for a wide range of geometry lessons, such as reflectional transformation.
