Attribute Blocks

Attribute Blocks sets includes five basic shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle, and hexagon) displaying different attributes. The basic shapes come in three different colors, two different sizes, and two different thicknesses. Attribute Blocks can be used to teach sorting, patterns, and identifying attributes. Each set of Attribute Blocks consists of 60 blocks in three colors (red, yellow, blue), five shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon), two sizes (large, small), and two thicknesses (thick, thin).

Working With Attribute Blocks:

Provide a set of Attribute Blocks for each group of students. Encourage students to examine their blocks. Ask students to describe the blocks. Discuss how the blocks are alike and how they are different. Encourage students to be specific about shape, color, and size in describing the Attribute Blocks. Students should make use of correct, appropriate vocabulary.
