Pattern Block Fraction Review Game | Hands-On Fractions Practice for 5th Grade

Bring fractions to life with this hands-on Pattern Block Fraction Review Game—designed especially for 5th-grade students! With 10 creative task cards and an engaging spinner game, students will build, model, and explain how different pattern blocks (triangles, trapezoids, and rhombi) come together to form a whole.

Perfect for math centers, partner work, or small groups, this activity strengthens understanding of fractional relationships using manipulatives and critical thinking. Aligned to upper elementary fraction standards and a great way to deepen conceptual understanding before or after direct instruction.

Students use pattern blocks to complete each task card, reflect on their thinking, and record their responses on the included worksheet. The spinner game adds fun competition while reinforcing fractional equivalency and composition of a whole using geometric shapes.
