To solve this problem, we need to look at the "Level 1" worksheet shown in the image (the one on the left). This worksheet asks us to count how many specific pattern blocks are needed to fill the outline of the watering can.
Here is the step-by-step counting process:
1. Count the Hexagons:
* Look for the six-sided shapes (hexagons).
* There is
1 red hexagon in the middle body of the watering can.
*
Total Hexagons: 1
2. Count the Blue Rhombuses:
* Look for the blue diamond shapes (rhombuses).
* There is
1 on the very top (the lid/handle area).
* There is
1 on the far left (part of the handle).
* There is
1 forming the spout on the right.
* There is
1 at the bottom left corner.
* There is
1 at the bottom right corner.
*
Total Blue Rhombuses: 5
3. Count the Trapezoids:
* Look for the orange half-hexagon shapes (trapezoids).
* There is
1 on the left side of the main body.
* There is
1 on the right side of the main body.
*
Total Trapezoids: 2
4. Count the Triangles:
* Look for the green three-sided shapes (triangles).
* There is
1 pointing down at the very bottom center.
* There is
1 on the bottom left edge.
* There is
1 on the bottom right edge.
*
Total Triangles: 3
***
Final Answer:
To make the watering can, you will need:
*
1 hexagon
*
5 blue rhombuses
*
2 trapezoids
*
3 triangles
