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.
These puzzles are made to be used with pentomino shapes. If you don’t have a class set of plastic ones, I’ve included templates so you can make your own.

During our novel study of Chasing Vermeer, the students were so excited to solve the Pentominoes challenges.

Used this as a at home game experience and while it was fun, google slides continues to be clunky to use.

This has been a really fun end-of-the-year math center! It’s a bit different from anything they’ve worked on this year, and they really like having the challenge.
