Problem Solving
Grade level: First to Third
Materials: pattern blocks, paper, and a calculator
Objective: Students will use problem solving strategies such as
guess and check and visualization to play the game. They will
also use mental mathematics to decide on the placement of the
pattern blocks and look for patterns.
*two players needed
*each receives three of the following
1. Green triangle
2. Blue rhombus
3. Red trapezoid
4. Yellow hexagon
Process: Together, the players decide on a point value for each
type of piece (green=1, blue=2, red=3, yellow=6). The game begins
with one yellow hexagon on the playing surface that does not belong
to either player. The first player must place one of her/his blocks
so that one side of the block is completely touching on one side
of the block(s) on the playing surface. The scoring for each play
is the sum of the values of the block placed and those that it
touches on a side. Play continues until both players have used
all of their pieces. The player with the most total points after
all of the pieces are used, is the winner.
