What are patterning blocks?
Patterning and algebra is the mathematics strand that investigates relationships and patterns. Students are expected to “recognize, describe, and generalize patterns and to build mathematical models to simulate the behaviour of real-world phenomena that exhibit observable patterns” (Ontario Math Curriculum)
To find out more about pattering blocks and how to incorporate, not only within math lessons, but also cross curricular please don't hesitate to download my math manipulative patterning block slideshow.

You have so many great ideas on ways to use patterning blocks! You’re so right, they can be used for all aspects of math - and it’s so fascinating to see how students use them! As an adult I can’t believe how many things I haven’t thought to use them for, yet my kindergarteners are using them in those ways! Thanks for sharing girl! You’re going to make an awesome teacher :)
