Pentominoes And you know what ‘pent’ means in Maths… 5 as in pentagon and pentagram It’s Greek, by the way
Pentominoes Now pentominoes are how many squares joined exactly edge to edge? 5
Pentominoes How many different pentominoes are there? Different – meaning not the same one another way round Back to dominoes is the same as ‘do’ is Greek for 2
Pentominoes – the task Choose a pentomino. Now using only the numbers 1-5 any way you want to, add up pairs of adjacent numbers and total
Pentominoes – the task + = 6 Now using only the numbers 1-5 any way you want to, add up pairs of adjacent numbers and total + = 7 What’s the biggest total you can make? + = 5 + = 7 25
Pentominoes What’s the biggest total we can make? What’s the smallest total?
Pentominoes Now I’m going to give you one of these shapes and I want you to fill each square with one of the numbers 1-5
