POST 7: TETRIS
Hello again!
We all know Tetris, aren't we?
But, how about using this additive game to work geometry? All we have to do is print the board and the pieces.
Then, there are few ways to play Paper Tetris, but the end goal of this game is to have the least amount of empty spots on the board after the first piece reaches the top of the board.
Each empty spot we have after game is over counts as 1 score. The smaller the score number, the better. We can note the scores on the scoresheet.
LEVEL 1 (easy version):
Place all the cut out pieces next to the tetris board. Take one by one and try to fit all of them as good as you can leaving the least amount of empty spots possible.
LEVEL 2 (harder version):
Place all pieces in a non-transparent bag. Pull out the pieces in a random way and try to fit them on the board without looking while you pick the pieces.
Here is a video where the game is showed.
In addition, we can use different app to play this game with the students, which is going to allow them to work with geometric pieces and the spatial vision.
