JUGGLE™ (Grades 4-5)
In this game players “juggle” polyominoes in order to be the first to complete their 9 x 9 grid-like gameboards. The roll of two dice determines which pieces are selected from five different types of polyominoes, including pentominoes and tetrominoes. In the process of playing the game students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships involving area, perimeter, and transformational geometry (flips/reflections, turns/rotations, and slides/translations). Spatial and logical reasoning skills are enhanced as students try to balance probability and chance, as well as numerical and structural relationships.
