Hands-On Math Attribute Blocks
Problem Solving and Logical Thinking
Learning about sets, set theory, geometry, number theory and logic can be fun. Attribute Blocks goes beyond drill and practice and presents students with an interactive tool that encourages them to learn through discovery. At the beginning levels students are challenged to find a mystery rule. The rules are randomly generated and students are challenged to figure out the rule by using deductive reason. When math is made visual it makes sense!

Hands-On Math Attribute Blocks creates a virtual mathematical playground right on your iPad. It simulates the use of a popular math manipulative (Attribute Blocks) and combines it with a creative problem solving activity. It is perfect for elementary and middle school classrooms. Enrich your mathematics curriculum with Hands-On Math Attribute Blocks.
Logical thinking and reasoning skills are some of the more difficult instructional goals that math teachers tackle. These curriculum areas can not be taught using rote memorization or drill and practice. Research has shown that visualization is one of the best ways to help students explore and discover mathematical thinking. Students who use Attribute Blocks will develop an intuitive understanding of deduction. In addition students will use mathematical reasoning to solve each challenging questions which are randomly generated at eight different levels.
Using Hands-On Math Attribute Blocks students can develop the following important mathematical concepts within the following topics:
- Set Theory
- Geometry
- Number Theory
- Logical Thinking and
- Mathematical Reasoning
