Please answer the following question knowing that I am doing a full assessment of your answer; knowledge, thinking, communication and application. Remember - show how you got your answer AND how you know that you are right (proof).

Consider the red and blue pentominoes shown here.

Mara claims that these two shapes will be able to cover all the same sums.

Sienna claims that these two shapes will NOT be able to cover the same sums.

Who do you agree with? Explain.




Here is a hundreds grid to help:
