If you love simple math activities that are hands-on, meaningful, and easy to prep, I’ve just added something new to my TPT store that I think your students will LOVE.
Introducing Another Six — a new set of pattern block activity cards designed to build number sense, shape recognition, sequencing, and early addition understanding through play. Available here!
What Is “Another Six”?
Students look at a completed pattern block design showing a total of 6 shapes.They “read” the pattern from left to right:
- naming the shapes
- counting the shapes
- noticing the combinations used
It’s simple, engaging, and perfect for independent math time.
Easy to Prep
Print the cards, grab some pattern blocks, and you’re ready to go in minutes.These cards work beautifully for:
- math centers
- small group warm-ups
- early finisher tubs
- independent practice
- quiet morning work
Math Conversations Naturally Happen
As students build, they begin noticing part-part-whole relationships within 6 (and even 12 when both designs are complete).
You might hear:
- “There are 4 triangles and 2 squares.”
- “That still makes 6.”
- “Now there are 12 altogether.”
Why Teachers Love It
- Low prep
- Hands-on learning
- Independent and engaging
- Encourages math talk
- Builds number sense through play
It’s on sale today, so it’s a great time to grab it and have a fresh math center ready for your students this week.
