4. Figure Puzzles
Unit Overview
This unit deals with the concept of shape movement. Pattern blocks and
Tangrams are often used for studying shape movement.
When students use pattern blocks, dot boards, and other manipulatives to
complete or design figures, they must imagine the moved, rotated, or flipped
shapes. This is not simple for students who have not yet been able to develop
their spatial sense. Therefore, they must use actual blocks or paper for
understanding the movement around the shapes themselves.

Pattern Blocks Tangram
The following 6 blocks are pattern blocks. A square cut into 7 pieces, as shown below, is called a Tangram.
Fun figures can be made using pattern blocks. Fun figures can be made using Tangrams.
EExxeerrcciissee Use the given pattern blocks to color each figure.
EExxeerrcciissee Two pieces were used to make a triangle and a square.
Draw how they were made.

In this problem, the rotated or flipped Use Tangrams to familiarize students with
images of pattern blocks must be drawn. geometric plane shapes so that they can
begin to build a foundation for observing
