Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge (Orientation to Group Work Activity)
This is another group activity I like to do with classes at the beginning of the year. I use this instead of the Circle Challenge in classes where a majority of students have had me in a previous semester.
Similar to the circle challenge students are tasked with putting together a jigsaw puzzle using the norms of collaboration, Pay attention to what other group members need and No one is done until everyone is done.
Goal
Work together as a group to complete one puzzle.
Rules of Jigsaw Puzzles
You may talk throughout this activity.
You may hint or encourage group members, but you may not move or place pieces for anyone else.
This activity is an exercise in guidance and patience. You may help by communicating verbally, but you may not touch anyone else’s pieces. You may only place your own pieces into the puzzle.
Directions
When your teacher says so, take the small envelopes out of the larger one. Each group member gets one small envelope. Then take the puzzle pieces out of the small envelopes.
Talk with your group to complete the puzzle. Be sure to follow all the rules.
Puzzles
I have included a few versions of the puzzle so far as these are the ones I have printed and tested. I hexagon puzzle with 18 pieces for a group of three and a rectangle with 28 pieces for groups of 4. I have also included a numbered and unnumbered set. I use the numbers to make sure the pieces get distributed into the envelopes evenly and with pieces that are spread out throughout the puzzle. The unnumbered pieces can be used for this activity or any other activity where you might need puzzle pieces.
I am printing the entire puzzle as one piece together and it is really satisfying to flex the build plate and watch the puzzle come apart. The tolerance is fairly large so even untuned printers should do a decent job, just make sure your bed adhesion is good.
The files are 3mf so the puzzle pieces can be broken out into individual parts if you lose one and need to reprint a piece. This is the advantage over using store bought puzzles I had previously, I would have to through out the entire puzzle and get a new one if a piece broke or went missing.
Print in PLA or PETG, no special settings required.
