Name
PolyPuzzle: A Unifying, Interactive, Whole-Group Problem Solving Activity for Geometry
Description
A PolyPuzzle challenges a group of students to solve a geometric puzzle. Pieces consist of a variety of polygons which are strategically created to ensure that common theorems from geometry arise naturally in the process of solving. PolyPuzzles are easy to build and can be reused year after year. We will solve several PolyPuzzles and discuss what we have learned about best practices for classroom implementation using this simple, unifying object to support the study of geometry in grades 6-10.
