Area, Perimeter and Rations Using Pentominoes
Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson, young scholars calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent shapes....
Curated OER
Patterns and Pentominoes
Students solve pentomino puzzles. In this problem solving lesson, students discuss how pentomino puzzles play into the plot of Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett and practice solving a pentomino puzzle on their own....
Curated OER
Pent-up Pentominoes
Students explore pentominoes in this activity. They build shapes as directed and color the tiles on their grid sheet.
Curated OER
Perfectly Puzzling Pentominoes
Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson gives students a meaningful way to practice these...
Curated OER
Geometry Finding Pentominoes
Students explore the characteristics of geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students use tiles to draw pentominoes. Students participate in various learning center activities focused on configuring pentominoes.
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
Patterns and Pentominoes
Young scholars participate in a class discussion about how pentominoes figure into the plot of "Chasing Vermeer." They then solve pentominoe puzzles and play interactive games. Resource links are provided for the activities and puzzles.
Curated OER
Area And Perimeter Using Pentominoes
Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson exploring the concepts of area and perimeter. They construct new pentominoes that are 3 times the size of normal ones and then identify the area and perimeter measurements. They then create a...
Curated OER
Break the Pentomino Code!
Learners read and analyze the book, Chasing Vermeer. They discuss the main story elements, analyze how pentominoes are important to the story, use a pentomino code to decipher a message, and create a secret code of their own.
Exploratorium
Beyond Dominoes: Polyominoes
Dominoes, polyominoes, tetrominoes, and pentominoes are the subject of this interesting math activity designed for middle schoolers. Pupils cut out shapes that are embedded in a worksheet in the plan, and experiment with them by...
Curated OER
Language Arts: Chasing Vermeer - A DaVinci Code for Children
Students read the mystery novel, Chasing Vermeer, research the artist and his works. Through observation of his works, they create their own pencil sketches of selected paintings. Finally, students simulate Vermeer's interiors with...
Curated OER
Geometry Center Games
First graders explore eight geometry activities that improve understanding of positional words and shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They help another student who may not understand the concept yet.
Curated OER
Building Models
Fifth graders build models. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders build paper models to represent square centimeters, square inches, square feet, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and perimeter.
Curated OER
Patterns: A Stitch in Time
Learners recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.
Curated OER
Geometry Center Games
First graders review the placement of positional words and shapes. In groups, they travel between eight centers throughout the classroom in which they participate in various activities. They focus on concepts that are related to Geometry.
Curated OER
Slides, Flips and Turns
Third graders are introduced to the meanings of the concepts slides, turns, and flips in how they relate to Geometry. As a class, they use their bodies to demonstrate how each term should look like. To end the lesson, they apply the...
Curated OER
Transformation
Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...
