CBC Showcase: School House Rock
Solving the puzzle introduces informal geometry to strengthen students' visual learning abilities in an interesting way.
In China, a beautiful ceramic tile lies shattered on the ground and the artist who dropped it is sentenced to the land's worst punishment. The fierce warlord will execute the artist unless some wise person can put the seven pieces back together. That person will then be invited to live in the castle. Both locals and strangers from far away wait their turns for a chance to solve the warlord's puzzle. After learning why these people are waiting to enter the castle, a peasant boy convinces his poor but wise father to join the line.
