Peer reviewedCowan, Richard A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
Having students find and cut out of graph paper the 12 pentominoes can provide an enjoyable exercise in perception, discovery, and double checking. The pentominoes can then be used to illustrate informally several geometric concepts. (SD)

Peer reviewedNevin, Mary Lou; Fennell, Francis, Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
The focus of this article is patterns and pattern making using geometric figures. Included are sequentially planned activities for K-8 students that help them first to discover the attributes of various figures and later how to combine these figures into patterns. Finally, this information is applied to real world activities such as quilting and…

Peer reviewedGeer, Charles P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Describes three activities using dominoes, playing cards, and the calendar to give students mathematical experiences reinforcing basic skills and problem-solving strategies that involve patterns, relationships, and functions. Students discover mathematical relationships underlying the magic tricks used in the activities. (MDH)
