About this model
These five puzzles challenge anyone who plays with them to think about combining the geometric transformations of translation and rotation in new ways. In a math class, they also provide inspiration to see that mathematics has fun and creative applications. Furthermore, they get progressively more challenging and so lead students to be comfortable with the important skill of exploring new problems that they have no idea how to solve. The five as a set will lead students to think about problem-solving strategies and provides a healthy "Aha!" when the solution to the last one is found, giving a feeling of enjoyment of mathematics. 1. Two-part bagel. This is trivial to solve, but calling it a "bagel" naturally leads the user to the next challenge of trying to understand the geometric form so …
