Building shapes using
pattern blocks
Use the shapes in pattern blocks and combine
them to make a single shape
Build a triangle using
1 Hexagon and 3 triangles
Example
Build a Hexagon using
2 Trapezoids
2 triangles
2 rhombuses
6 triangles
3 rhombuses

Pictograph
Count each type of pattern block. Construct a graph on
the square grid by placing each block in the square

Symmetry
A shape has symmetry if when divided into two
parts such that a part of the image is the mirror
image of the other side. A shape can have more
than one line symmetry
one line symmetry
two line symmetry
any line going through the
circle is a line of symmetry
Can you make some other symmetrical patterns
by combining the shapes in the pattern blocks
