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...

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.

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...

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....

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.
