Logifaces game - 9-piece version

Game: The game Logifaces consists of blocks forming solids with triangular top and bottom and different heights of the corners. This leads to varying slopes and area sizes of the sides of each block. The game's goal is to form shapes with a continuous top surface. To create this, blocks with a similar side surface have to be selected and arranged accordingly. 

The main objective of the Logifaces methodology project is to prepare a new visual mathematics and art educational system and adapt it for and spread it in EU-wide school education. The project is based on the Logifaces game, which is a spatial geometric, logic, and sensorimotor skill development game. The target group of the project is primary and secondary school students aged 6-18. Schools and institutes operating in different educational systems of different countries were invited to develop and test STEAM exercises based on the game to cover a wide range of school education, starting from elementary and reaching high school students. 

Exercises are created and collected using a game as a teaching tool. The Logifaces project aims to create a catalogue of exercises regarding different subjects in STEAM education using the Logifaces game and investigate the possible effects of such exercises. For this, using the game in a teaching context is crucial to find different utilitarizations. Another core element within the goals of the Logifaces method is enhancing students’ spatial reasoning and three-dimensional thinking.
