Week 1
Teacher’s Guide
- Divide students into groups;
- Conduct a brief instruction on working with scissors and cardboard products;
Goals:
- Improve knowledge of geometric shapes and the shape of objects
- Develop figurative, logical and spatial thinking
Read the safety instructions before you start [ safety insructions ].
Introduction
Tell students what is a puzzle.
Puzzle is a puzzle game in which you need to make a figure from many of its fragments
The benefits of puzzles:
- Increasing concentration. In order to find the right pieces of the puzzle, care is needed.
- The development of the imagination. When collecting puzzle images, we do not see the full picture, so the brain tries to complete the missing pieces.
- Development of logical thinking. When assembling puzzles, it is necessary to take into account their sequence and shape [1].

Practical part
Give each group of students a 35 cm x 40 cm piece of cardboard.
Cut out 3 cardboard rectangles measuring 12 cm x 10 cm
- Take one rectangle
- Recede from the right and left side to the inner side 3 cm
- Divide the cardboard into 5 parts with horizontal lines
- First step back 2 cm from the top and bottom side
From the resulting lines, step back 2 cm to the inside again
From 2 vertical lines step back to the outside 2 cm
Color the specified area
Make a hole in the crossed area
Cut out the crossed part of the part
Turn over and glue the resulting part on top of another piece of cardboard using paper glue
Divide the last piece of cardboard into 1.8 cm squares (indent the lines on the left and top sides by 1.8 cm).
Cut out 9 squares
The squares should fit into the hole as shown in the picture.
Cut out 2 pieces of colored cardboard with a size of 12 cm x 2.3 cm
Glue the resulting pieces of cardboard to the top and bottom of the cardboard
Write on the cut out squares the numbers from 1 to 9
Mix up the numbers and have the students complete the puzzle. It is necessary to complete the puzzle without lifting the squares so that the correct sequence of numbers from 1 to 9 is obtained as shown in the figure above.
Conclusion
On this project, students developed imaginative and logical thinking by constructing a puzzle layout from numbers. It is recommended to think about improving the design of the puzzle.
