STEM FRIDAYS: Math - 3D Pentominoes

🔬🎨 S.T.E.A.M. Fridays – Summer of Play at CMA!

Fridays are for hands-on fun at the Children’s Museum of Acadiana! Join us each week for S.T.E.A.M. Fridays, where kids explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math through interactive activities designed to spark creativity and curiosity.

🎟 Free with admission
💛 Made possible by the William C. Schumacher Foundation

🧪 About the Activity: Mathematics and critical thinking collide in this fun pentominoes game where students interact with 3D foam shapes. Discuss the composition of a pentomino – a 3D object with five squares or cubes – then experience them through hands-on activity. They’ll use pentominoes to create compound shapes and understand geometric relationships as they use spatial reasoning to assemble cubes, complex shapes, and fun designs like animals.
