The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. At the center is an orange square surrounded by four green triangles, four tan rhombuses, and eight orange squares. Around this center are four flower-like arrangements. Each “flower” is made with four blue and four tan rhombuses surrounded by eight green triangles, eight tan rhombuses, and eight orange squares. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. At the center of the design (and the four corners) are four dodecagons, each made from twelve green triangles, four orange squares, and four tan rhombuses. Around its center four green triangles and four tan rhombuses are surrounded by four orange squares and eight blue rhombuses. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. The main design shows flower-like arrangements made of four blue and four tan rhombuses surrounded by eight green triangles and eight tan rhombuses. This ‘flower’ is repeated nine times in a three by three array. The gaps are filled with tan rhombuses. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

The main image in the top left shows a radial design created with pattern blocks. It was built by arranging six identical square-like structures around a central hexagon. Each square-like structure is composed of a central orange square surrounded by four green triangles, eight tan rhombuses, and four orange squares. The  rest of the images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

Sixteen hexagons joined together, each made out of pattern blocks in different ways. Notable ones are
* orange squares on their ends making a central stripe with four pink triangles finishing the sides
* twenty four little triangles in two tones of green
* a central green triangle surrounded by natural wood parallelograms, red trapeziums and pink triangles
* a central yellow hexagon, three purple concave hexagons and three blue rhombuses

The students unprompted decided to explore ways to make hexagons out of the 21C pattern blocks at #100factorial yesterday.

This image shows pattern block designs arranged in a 4 by 4 grid, with the center four squares merged to highlight a larger design. It features 13 unique pattern block creations from March. The images show six double hexagons arranged around a central hexagon with six regular hexagons added to fill in the gaps between the double hexagons, completing the radial pattern.
