Item # P001 Pentomino Piazza - Volume One Classroom Set for Grades K-2 $24.99

There are 12 different pentominoes in a pentomino set.  Each pentomino is made up of 5 square tiles attached side-by-side in different combinations. 

Pentomino Piazza, Volume I, is our first in a series of classroom activity sets that utilizes pentominoes.  This set will introduce you and your students to the 12 pentominoes and their alphabetic associations.  12 cards (6 back-to-back) will sequentially lead you through basic 3x4 and 4x4 grids.  Each of the 12 cards offers a different question that is meant to lead you and your students to a clearer understanding of how pentominoes work. 

The final two cards in the set will provide you with instructions for a pentomino game and two different sized grids on which to play the game.

5 transparencies are included with the classroom set to enhance large group instruction.  An additional solutions sheet and a blackline master grid sheet are also in the set.  Explanations and differentiated instruction ideas can be found on the enclosed teacher card.

Pentominoes are not included with this set, but are available on this site to purchase separately.
