Making Faces is a unique tessellation puzzle in which a face is formed where four square pieces fit together. There are three different types of pieces, allowing over 1,000 distinct faces. What's more, if a face is viewed upside down, a different rightside-up face is seen!

The puzzle comes with instructions that include several brain teasers plus a game using the pieces. Four reproducible worksheets cover translational and rotational symmetry in tessellations, the mathematics of combinations, and drawing 2-way faces.

Item is 120 chipboard pieces packaged in a durable plastic jar with screw-on lid.
