For Maths today, Team Tui had Mr Herlihy educate us on what pentminoes. Pentminoes is a shape that consists of 5 squarer that make a shape. However, this shape can’t be connected by its vertices but by its sides.
Our task was to make letters using 5 squares only. The catch was that we had to make 12 letters, the most absurd rule about this task, was that we wren’t permitted rotate the shape to make it look like another letter.
Example – I made a letter d I would have made it to 12, unfortunately rotating it was not going to cut it. Importantly knowing what letter of the alphabet you have made.
Afterwards, we were instructed to partner up for the next task. Where we needed to cut out Pantomimes shapes to put together, to make it look like the following image.
Through all the cutting and putting together, I learnt that in Pantomimes, Pent means 5.
