How do you divide a hexagon into 3 equal parts?
How do you divide a hexagon into 3 equal parts?
You should skip every other vertex, so that you have three lines, with one vertex between each. Drawing a line to each vertex creates six equilateral triangles, which is six equal areas. By drawing a line to every other vertex, you create half as many equal areas (3 equal areas).
How do you make a hexagon out of 3 Rhombuses?
Let’s use pattern blocks to visualize the situation and say that a hexagon is 1 whole. Since 3 rhombuses make a hexagon, 1 rhombus represents and 2 rhombuses represent . We can see that 6 pairs of rhombuses make 4 hexagons, so there are 6 groups of in 4.

How many ways can you fill a hexagon?
The kids were shocked when I told them there are actually 8 total ways to make a hexagon using our pattern blocks! As we found each of the 8 ways, we recorded how many of each shape was used in each creation: This chart leads to great discussion about why the square and rhombus can’t ever be used.
