Stained Glass Room

The Stained Glass Room is an activity in JumpStart Math for Second Graders.

Premise
CJ and Edison have to help create stained glass windows for the castle.

Description
The player must fill in the missing sections of the windows by cutting out pieces of glass with the same shapes as the missing sections. Once the player has chosen the section they want to work on, they must choose a sheet of glass to cut. The glass comes in four colors (yellow, blue, green, red), and the player can choose any color they want.

To cut the glass, the player uses and grid. The player clicks on different points on the grid to create an outline of the shape. Once the glass it cut, the player places it in the window. The player can throw away glass pieces by dragging them to the trash bin. The activity is completed when the player has finished three windows.

Digital manual description
No ordinary windows in this castle. Nope, they've got to be stained glass. And you've got to help create them! Correctly cut out the shape from a pane of glass and place the cut piece in the window. Can you do it without "cracking" under pressure?


 * To begin, look at a missing section and estimate the size of glass you'll need.
 * Then, place the glass on the cutting board to cut the piece to size. You can choose any color that strikes your fancy.
 * Click on the grid where you'd like to begin your cut, then move the line to another point on the grid and click. Continue the line around the perimeter of the shape you wish to cut.
 * Drag the cut piece to place it in the window.
 * If you're not happy with the piece you cut, drag it to the trash bin.
 * If the glass piece doesn't fit, it can be a shattering experience! You'll have to start over with a new piece of glass.
 * If the glass piece does fit, congratulations!
 * After you complete three windows, you've won the game --and perhaps an ingredient needed for your potion.
