Your teacher will give you pattern blocks. Use them to answer the questions.

1. If the trapezoid represents 1 whole, what does each of the other shapes represent? Be prepared to show or explain your reasoning.

   1. 1 triangle

   2. 1 rhombus

   3. 1 hexagon

2. Use pattern blocks to represent each multiplication equation. Use the trapezoid to represent 1 whole. Sketch or trace the blocks to record your representation.

3. Diego and Jada were asked “How many rhombuses are in a trapezoid?”

   • Diego says, “. If I put 1 rhombus on a trapezoid, the leftover shape is a triangle, which is of the trapezoid.”
   • Jada says, “I think it’s . Since we want to find out ‘How many rhombuses . . . ?’ we should compare the leftover triangle to a rhombus. A triangle is of a rhombus.”

   Do you agree with either of them? Explain or show your reasoning.

4. Select all the equations that can be used to answer the question: “How many rhombuses are in a trapezoid?”
