Hex interlocking square tiles,
RMA or 1 cm squared paper

These are hexominoes. These are not hexominoes.

These hexominoes have the same area and perimeter.

area = 6sq cm area = 6sq cm
perimeter = 12cm perimeter = 12cm

Hexominoes all have the same area, but can they have different perimeters?
Use squared paper to find out. Interlocking tiles might help you.

Try to make sure your hexominoes are different.
Not like these.
It's the same shape
turned round!
