Review based on: personal experience |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept, practice of skills and understandings, applications of a concept or technique, advanced investigations |
Other Comments: The activities are geared toward teachers, though the Pattern Block applet is a great tool to use with the students inorder to help them identify a triangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and hexagon. |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? The activities will be best utilized if the students have background knowledge of the names and attributes of shapes. |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? Use of mouse to click and drag. How to navigate within the applet. |
What extra things must be done to make it work? Teachers will have to gather materials like pattern shape tiles. |
How hard was it for you to learn? Ok |
Explanation: The activities are informal lessons and links to other activities and resources that a teacher will have to guide the students to using. |
Ability to meet my goals: Effective |
