# Developing Mathematics with Pattern Blocks

Paul Swan, Geoff White

This is one of three books in the excellent and extremely practical ”Hands on Maths” series - written with a belief that “children come to the mathematical ideas developmentally via the use of all their senses” and that the careful use of manipulatives is vital to that process.

Activities are suggested for becoming familiar with pattern blocks, and their properties, and for exploring ideas of number (including fractions), space (including tessellation and symmetry) and measurement.
