Description
Kids love Pentominoes! Similar to tangrams, pentominoes are manipulatives that help students develop their reasoning, logic, visual/spatial skills, geometric concepts, and more! These appealing Tetris-like shapes are fun to work with and great for developing those all-important spatial skills.

Used these at the end of the year. They were very engaging and easy to use. It was novel from the traditional work we did all year so the students really liked it.

It was very helpful to have the different sized grids – I was able to print them out and have built-in differentiation for my students. Perfect!
