Student Instructions
1: Design a shape using pattern blocks
2: Take a 
of your design
3: Find and 
the fraction that each style of pattern block represents (see example)
*Bonus* an equivalent fraction for one of the shapes. Then, use the 
or 
to explain how you know. (Your explanation should include that shapes relationship with another shape)
Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This idea is based off fractiontalks.com and it is recommended students have practice with that before doing this activity. The idea of the bonus is to not only get them to identify equivalent fractions, but to also explain how equivalency works without just doing the mathematical process. (An example may be that they know a trapezoid is equal to 3 triangles and therefore...)
