From Pattern-Block Play to Logo Programming
John E. Newton · The Arithmetic Teacher · 1988
Pattern blocks are the most seductive materials in my mathematics lab. All I need to do is dump them in front of children and interesting things happen. ldeas are explored, enhanced, and transformed until satiation: then other ideas arise. Children seem to have a continuoua source of inspiration. My role change from curmudgeonly taskmaster to welcomed facilitator.
