Understanding Block Value Relationships

The video tutorial explains how to determine the value of pattern blocks using different units. It starts with a yellow block as a unit, then explores alternative methods using equivalent fractions. The tutorial continues with examples using three yellow blocks and a combination of red and blue blocks as units, demonstrating how to calculate the value of each pattern block in these contexts.

What is the value of a red pattern block when one yellow block equals one unit?

• One-sixth

• One-fourth

• One-half

• One-third

How many blue pattern blocks are needed to make one unit when one yellow block equals one unit?

• Five

• Two

• Three

• Four

If one green block equals one-sixth, what is the value of a blue block?

• One-sixth

• Four-sixths

• Three-sixths

• Two-sixths

How can the value of a yellow block be expressed in terms of green blocks?

• Six-sixths

• Four-sixths

• Three-sixths

• Two-sixths

When three yellow blocks make one unit, what is the value of a red block?

• One-ninth

• One-third

• One-sixth

• One-twelfth

How many blue blocks are needed to make one unit when three yellow blocks equal one unit?

• Eight

• Seven

• Nine

• Six

In the unit defined by one red and one blue block, what is the value of a green block?

• One-seventh

• One-sixth

• One-eighth

• One-fifth

How many green blocks are equivalent to one yellow block in the unit defined by one red and one blue block?

• Seven

• Six

• Five

• Four

What is the value of a red block in the unit defined by one red and one blue block?

• Four-fifths

• Five-fifths

• Three-fifths

• Two-fifths

How can the value of a yellow block be expressed in the unit defined by one red and one blue block?

• One and one-eighth

• One and one-sixth

• One and one-fifth

• One and one-seventh
