Outline of Final Research Achievements

We used three types of wooden puzzles(Puzzle A ,B,C) for the observation, they were made of ABS resin with a 3D printer and designed by us. Puzzle A was a wooden puzzle with pictures printed on the ABS resin. Puzzle B was painted such that the surfaces of pieces that come into contact with each other at the joints were the same color. Puzzle C was made of white ABS resin with a 3D printer and lacked any images or colors.
As a result of the observations, we found that Puzzle A, with the printed pictures, had a low degree of difficulty, except during the first observation . (We believe that all three students only said C was the easiest during the first observation due to its large size.) Additionally, we noted that even when presented with a complex structure, if students were able to recognize the rule that the surfaces of pieces were the same color where they meet, they were able to assemble the puzzle easily.
