MECHANICS:

1. You will form quadrilaterals by using Pattern

Blocks.
2. The quadrilateral should be a combination of at
least three different colors and shapes.
3. Forming congruent quadrilaterals are not allowed.
4. You will be given 3 minutes to form quadrilaterals
as many as you can.
5. The group that have the largest number of
quadrilaterals formed will be the winner. And have
the chance to reveal our topic for today.
