Pentomoninoes

A pentomino is made out of five congruent squares. Each square must share at least one complete side of another one of the five squares. The sides may not overlap. Our challenge was find all the possible pentomino designs.

You can see from Liam's work that we found 12 different possible designs for pentominoes. Some of are us are continuing this work and looking for all the ways to design hexominoes. Hexominoes are made from six congruent squares. How many ways do you think there are?
