What does the workshop consist of?

In this workshop we will discover the older dominoes brothers: tri dominoes, tetromins and pentominos. During the workshop, the existing 12 pentomers are discovered and, with them, rectangles and other geometric shapes are generated, thinking about their perimeter and surface and seeing possible relationships.
