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 right-side up face is seen. It is both weird and cool. The puzzle comes with instructions that include several brainteasers plus a game using the pieces. Four reproducible worksheets cover translational and rotational symmetry in tessellations, the mathematics of combinations, and drawing two-way faces. The 120 chipboard pieces come packaged in a plastic jar.
