Virtual Pentominoes
On Monday, I wrote about pentominoes as a great manipulative for young children. The shapes that make up a pentominoes set are always created by combining 5 squares (pent=5). These can then be manipulated to create larger shapes as well as.
There is a fun website connected to Blue Balliett’s book Chasing Vermeer. Children can manipulate virtual pentominoes right on the computer screen. Give it a try!
