Question

1. We can use pattern blocks to model addition and subtraction. Here's an example: Use pattern blocks to compute ( frac{1}{3}+frac{1}{6} ). Choose the yellow hexagon to represent 1 because it can be divided into thirds and sixths. If the yellow hexagon is one, then one-third is a blue rhombus and one-sixth is a green triangle. This is illustrated by the following pictures: The picture below shows that ( frac{1}{3}+frac{1}{6}=frac{1}{2} ) If we want, we can trade in the blue and green pieces for a red trapezoid: This picture demonstrates that 1 red trapezoid is half of a yellow hexagon: Use pattern blocks to compute each of the following. For each, be sure to clearly specify which piece(s) represent one.

$1. We can use pattern blocks to model addition and subtraction. Here's an example: Use pattern blocks to compute ( frac13+frac16 ). Choose the yellow hexagon to represent 1 because it can be divided into thirds and sixths. If the yellow hexagon is one, then one-third is a blue rhombus and one-sixth is a green triangle. This is illustrated by the following pictures: The picture below shows that ( frac13+frac16=frac12 ) If we want, we can trade in the blue and green pieces for a red trapezoid: This picture demonstrates that 1 red trapezoid is half of a yellow hexagon: Use pattern blocks to compute each of the following.
