Polyomino Dissections
Hohn, Tiina; Liu, Andy
College Mathematics Journal, v43 n1 p88-94 Jan 2012
One of Gardner's passions was to introduce puzzles into the classroom. From this point of view, polyomino dissections are an excellent topic. They require little background, provide training in geometric visualization, and mostly they are fun. In this article, we put together a large collection of such puzzles, introduce a new approach in solving them, and discuss the practical considerations in presenting these puzzles to children.
