Join Maths Explorers for an online maths enrichment session exploring Polyominoes.

Polyominoes are a family of shapes that have been popularised in many board & digital games over the years, one of the most famous ones being ‘Tetris’. A polyomino is a plane geometric figure formed by joining one or more equal squares edge to edge, they are kind of everywhere once we know how to spot them!

Come join Maths Explorers for an introduction to this fun shape and an investigation you can get stuck into!

This will be a facilitator led, live session! Your cameras can be on or off as per your child’s wishes, but there will be no audio chat. Young people can interact with the challenges on the whiteboard we send them and they can send their questions and observations in writing through the Zoom chat box.
