Pete The Cat Can Build It

The children have been finding block building challenges each afternoon left by Pete The Cat. Their challenge is to create an exact replica of Pete's structure. This structure illustrates how two small rectangles equals one square and how two square blocks equals one big rectange.  The children are working on math vocabulary, knowledge of shapes, division, and visual spacial skills while doing this activity. They LOVE it!!
