Tiling with Pentominoes
In this tiling with pentominoes worksheet, 10th graders solve 3 different problems related to tiling with pentominoes. First, they define pentomino as a type of polygon and locate 10 other pentomino shapes in the figure shown at the top....
Curated OER
Pent-up Pentominoes
First graders are introduced to pentominoes in this lesson. Using the Internet, they match pentominoes with the same shape and use a grid sheet to make their own. They are read books by their teacher and they identify the pentominoes in...
Curated OER
Polynominoes
In this polynominoes worksheet, students solve 9 different types of polynominoes problems. First, they identify that a polynominoe is a polygon made from squares of the same size and connected to each square. Then, students determine how...
