Abstract: Synopsis Pattern blocks are versatile manipulatives facilitating connections that can be made among various strands of mathematics such as number sense, algebra, geometry and measurement, spatial reasoning, probability and trigonometry. This note focuses on an artistic interpretation of the pattern blocks with primary focus on convex polygons made with pattern blocks, and describes five mathematically rich activities using them. Pattern blocks are versatile manipulatives facilitating connections that can be made among various strands of mathematics such as number sense, algebra, geometry and measurement, spatial reasoning, probability and trigonometry. The six pattern blocks are:

Plane Figurate Number Proofs Without Words Explained With Pattern Blocks
TL;DR: In this paper , an artistic interpretation of pattern block designs with primary focus on the connection between pattern blocks and plane figurate numbers is presented, and the story behind a handful of proofs without words (PWWs) that are inspired by such pattern blocks designs.
