Students in Ms. Gale's class create a design using pattern blocks. They record the design on triangle grid paper and determine how many triangles the design covers (the design above covers 6 triangles). Students then cover the original design with other combinations of pattern blocks. They record each new congruent figure. It is important for students to recognize that congruency refers to the same figure covering the same area.
