At maths in room 12 we are doing the pentomino challenge. The pentomino challenge is a challenge to find twelve different pentominoes and draw them in 3D.

Mr Peacock adds: A pentomino has five cubes joined together to make a unique shape.  These shapes must be able to be laid flat on one face and all five cubes be visible from the opposite face.  Charlotte has done a great job of experimenting to find eight of the possible 12 pentomino shapes. We are using isometric dot paper to help us to draw in three dimensions.

Our next goal is to use TinkerCAD to create a 3D file that can be printed using our school 3D printer.
