Details:

Students will fit the four pieces of the butterfly image together by selecting and dragging them into place. The butterfly was used for this lesson because the class was studying butterflies at the time. Any relevant image may be used for this activity. One piece will only fit if it is flipped. One piece will only fit if it is rotated. The image to be manipulated must be selected. The student will then click on the “image” menu and select the “flip/rotate” option. The selected image is then changed to the proper attitude and then dragged into place.

Once the students have successfully completed this puzzle, they can draw their own image, separate it, flip and/or rotate pieces, and create a new puzzle. The new puzzles can then be solved by other students.
