Overview

Attribute Blocks are manipulatives that have four different attributes: shape (circle, hexagon, square, and triangle); color (red, blue, and yellow); size (big and small); and thickness (thick and thin). The activities in this book teach young students how to make an analogy, or comparison, between attribute blocks. These easy-to-use cards are the perfect introduction to logical thinking for young learners. Students use attribute blocks to complete the patterns on the 32 full-color task cards. Each set progresses from easy to more difficult, making the activities perfect for learning centers and nonreaders. Use attribute blocks in your math class or as a part of your thinking skills program. If you are looking for a motivating, hands-on way to introduce your younger students to logical thinking, the two Attribute Block Thinking Activities books are just what you need. The other book in this series is Attribute Block - Sequences: Thinking Activities , which focuses on sequences. Simply put out the cards and a set of attribute blocks and let the thinking begin!
