K.GM.1.4 Use smaller shapes to form a larger shape when there is an outline to follow.
In a Nutshell
Students should be able to take smaller shapes and build larger shapes from them. This is very naturally accomplished with pattern blocks during exploratory time. For example, students can make a triangle out of pattern blocks in multiple ways. After students are allowed time to explore with pattern blocks on their own, give them outlines of larger shapes that they can fill in. This can also be done by cutting up paper shapes (ex. cut a square into triangles) and have students put them back together.
