POLY-UNIVERSE IN SCHOOL EDUCATION (PUSE)
János Saxon-Szász and Zsuzsa Dárdai
The project was based on the Poly-Universe game, which is a geometric skill-developing game by János Szász SAXON fine artist. The project was performed in the framework of an ERASMUS+ program supported by the European Commission. The novelty value of Poly-Universe lies in the scale-shifting symmetry inherent to its geometric forms and a colour combination system, which can be used universally and impact the educational system, particularly in the education of geometry and combinatorics. The tool kit includes elements in three shapes (square, triangle and circle – look at the logo above) with the combination of four colours. Tessellating the kit elements applies geometric, colour and combinatorics symmetries. It is useful to develop several abilities beyond geometry either.
The main objective of our project was to develop a new visual educational system for mathematics: the PUSE (Poly-Universe in School Education) methodology.
