Block Bay

What students practice

Students practice rotating and reflecting shapes, turning or flipping a block so it matches a hole that has been rotated or mirrored a different way.

How to play

Players press the left and right arrow keys to turn a block a quarter turn, F to flip it like a mirror, and up and down arrows to pick a block, then press space to dock it once it glows green for a match, with early docking worth bonus points. A block that docks the wrong way costs a shield, and the game shows the moves needed before that block returns later; losing three shields ends the mission.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher set the block sizes in play and whether moves are rotations only or include flips, plus speed and whether the answer is shown after a miss; the end screen includes a printable student report listing the moves practiced.
