Students solve puzzles by arranging geometric shapes to complete a given outline. This classic spatial challenge encourages students to visualize how various shapes can fit together, promoting geometric thinking, problem solving, and creativity as they explore different configurations to match the outline precisely.

• Grade Levels: all ages
• Skills Developed: geometric reasoning, visualization, problem solving, pattern recognition, transformational geometry, and persistence
• Standards Addressed:
  ISTE Standards for Computational Thinking - develop transformational thinking by breaking down each puzzle into manageable shape movements, testing rotations, reflections, and translations
  
• Classroom Use:
  Math Lesson Starter - use the game to introduce concepts of symmetry and rotation, discussing how shapes fit together to create larger constructions
  Collaborative Problem Solving - students work in pairs to complete puzzles, sharing ideas and approaches to figure out shape placements and rotations
