SERIOUSLY,
A RHOMBUS IS NOT A BUS AT ALL. BUT WHAT IS IT?
FIND ALL
OF THE RHOMBUS FIGURES IN YOUR PACKAGE OF PATTERN BLOCKS. HOW
DO YOU KNOW WHICH BLOCKS TO CHOOSE?
TAKE THEM
OUT AND SET THE OTHER PATTERN BLOCKS ASIDE.
WHAT
ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RHOMBUS?
WHICH OTHER
PATTERN BLOCK FIGURE IS SIMILAR TO THE RHOMBUS?
WHAT DO
THEY HAVE IN COMMON?
HOW ARE
THEY DIFFERENT?
USE
YOUR RHOMBUS FIGURES TO BUILD LARGER RHOMBUSES.
CAN YOU
BUILD A LARGER RHOMBUS FIGURE WITH TWO RHOMBUSES? THREE RHOMBUSES?
WHAT IS THE SMALLEST NUMBER OF RHOMBUSES YOU CAN USE TO MAKE
A LARGER RHOMBUS FIGURE?
MAKE AN
EVEN LARGER RHOMBUS. HOW MANY SMALL PATTERN BLOCK RHOMBUSES
DID YOU USE? COMPARE YOUR FIGURE TO THE ONE MADE BY YOUR CLOSEST
NEIGHBOR. HOW ARE THEY THE SAME? HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?
TRY AGAIN.
USE A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF RHOMBUSES. KEEP TRACK OF THE NUMBER
OF RHOMBUSES EACH OF YOU USE FOR THE LARGER FIGURES YOU CREATE.
