Overhead Color Tiles
Color tiles can help younger kids learn about patterns. They can help older kids learn about perimeter and area. One of my favorite explorations for kids is to have them find all the areas of all the rectangles of a specific perimeter. A related problem is to find the perimeters of all the rectangles of a given area. Color tiles help students actively visualize the solutions.
