Problem Solving with Pentominoes Book Description:

This 96-page activity book, complete with blackline masters and
Teaching Notes, is based on NCTM Standards.

Problem Solving with Pentominoes provides hands-on puzzle activities
for children in grades 1 through 4. Many of the activities can be adapted
for children in the middle grades as well. The blackline masters and detailed
teacher's notes have been developed to present a variety of geometric and
spatial concepts. The activities encourage children to experiment with
mathematical concepts and communicate their understanding of the
concepts. 
 
As children attempt to find solutions for the activities and puzzles, they
will use important problem-solving strategies such as predicting, deductive
reasoning, evaluation, revising, and recording results. The materials can
be used with individual children, with pairs or small groups, or with an
entire class.
 
Topics Include:

• Geometric motions

• Symmetry

• Congruence and similarity

• Area and perimeter

• Puzzle challenges
