Extractions: ...there is much more to this review, including ideas for using pentominoes generally as well as Katamino. Download the full PDf version here... Katamino is based on the 12 unique shapes pentominoes that can be created by connecting 5 congruent squares. Pentominoes are said to have been invented by Solomon W. Golomb in 1953 at a talk he gave for the Harvard Mathematics Club. They had in fact been around for a time. He brought them to the attention of a much wider audience and since then a vast number of problems have been set using these 12 intriguing shapes. Their potential as a motivating teaching resource at Key Stage Two cannot be over-estimated and there follows a series of uses to develop childrens mathematical concepts and thinking, their spatial awareness and their problem-solving strategies. Children of all abilities can use them. They certainly provide the level of challenge to inspire and motivate more able children. In my experience as a classroom teacher I have often found that lower attaining mathematicians have a surprisingly high level of spatial ability. Operating at a similar level to more able children could do wonders for the weaker childs mathematical confidence. Pentominoes can be used to develop childrens understanding of the concepts of area and perimeter, transformational geometry including enlargement, congruence and symmetry, nets, volume and classification. All these will be illustrated through the various activities below. There are also some suggestions for the use of pentominoes in developing childrens sense of number.

A vital part of this work includes identifying and disseminating promising practices in mathematics and science. Since 1992, this network has identified approximately 119 promising programs in mathematics and science. These programs have been developed by a wide array of innovators: teachers, university professors, organizational leaders, district personnel, etc. The SERVE Eisenhower Consortium for Mathematics and Science Education and the Mid-Atlantic Consortium for Mathematics and Science at Research for Better Schools (RBS) provided national leadership for the Promising Practices Program. Working collaboratively, they developed a process for the identification and dissemination of successful practices.

Fairy-tale-style programs put math into a meaningful context and engage viewers in story-related problems involving number, measurement, and geometry. Students discover how to reason and communicate mathematically as the programs combine mathematics with a whole-language approach to curriculum. A review at the end of each program, topped off by a new, open-ended problem, reinforces the learning throughout. Your time zone has not been set.

Pentominoes Page The twelve pentominoes are often referred to by the letters they resemble.There are about as many puzzles and games using pentominoes as there are people http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/smmg/radin.html
Extractions: Pentominoes are shapes that use five square blocks joined edge to edge to form various combinations. There are twelve possible shapes in a set of unique pentominoes, named T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, F, I, L, P, and N. An easy way to remember all the letters in a pentominoes set is to look at the word, FILiPiNo, and remember the end of the alphabet, TUVWXYZ. Pentominoes are said to have been "invented" by Solomon W. Golomb in 1953 at a talk he gave to the Harvard Mathematics Club. Although he came up with the name, pentominoes have been around since a much earlier time. The first pentomino problem, written by the great English inventor of puzzles, Henry Ernest Dudeny, was published in 1907 in the Canterbury Puzzles. The twelve pentominoes are often referred to by the letters they resemble. There are about as many puzzles and games using pentominoes as there are people who play with them. Here are a few examples. There are many more puzzles and solutions all over the internet and in the book Polyominoes by Solomon Golomb.
