Geometry

Purpose: To place all pieces on the grid

Skill: Spatial awareness

Players: 2 (or play alone)

Directions:

Players alternately place a chosen pentomino on the grid (one dimension only). Play continues until one player is unable to make a move and loses.

Alternate Ideas:

a) place pieces on the board to build desired shapes

b) design three dimensional shapes with pentomino pieces

**************************************************

Can you build the figures shown on the following pages?

HINTS:

a) The first figure is actual size - place pieces directly on the page.

b) To build the figures on the pages with grids, use the shapes as indicated on the top of each section.

Good Luck!
