If the trapezoid represents 1 whole, what do each of these other shapes represent? Be prepared to explain or show your reasoning.
1 triangle
1 rhombus
1 hexagon
Use (or draw) pattern blocks to represent each multiplication equation. Use the trapezoid to represent 1 whole.
For each situation, draw a diagram for the relationship of the quantities to help you answer the question. Then write a multiplication equation or a division equation for the relationship. Be prepared to share your reasoning.
