Owl's Toolbox: Pattern Block Puzzles

Fill three pattern block puzzles with the owl: a house, a flower and a row of trees. Kindergartners drag each block to the space it fits, use the same block more than once, show how many triangles they used on their fingers, then pack the owl's toolbox with every math tool and leave the sock and toothbrush out. Every direction is narrated, and wrong answers get a spoken hint and another try. Part of the Owl's Toolbox series.

• 3 narrated pattern block puzzles (house, flower, trees)
• A show-me-on-your-fingers counting question
• A math-tools sort that reviews all five tools

• Fill a puzzle outline with the pattern block that fits each space.
• Use the same block more than once when a puzzle repeats a shape.
• Tell math tools apart from everyday things.
