Identifying Shapes and Patterns

In this video tutorial, students learn to identify and count shapes within larger shapes using pattern blocks. The lesson begins with an introduction to the learning goal, followed by practical examples where students identify shapes within a triangle, trapezoid, and a kitty cat figure. The video concludes with instructions for an exit ticket activity, where students color different shapes to demonstrate their understanding.
