Erasmus+ PUSE Project

The main objective of Erasmus+ Poly-Universe in School Education (PUSE) project is to develop a new visual system for mathematics education: the Poly-Universe Methodology. The project is based on the Poly-Universe game, which is a geometric skill development game by János Szász SAXON fine artist. The novelty of Poly-Universe lies in the ‘scale-shifting’ symmetry inherent to its geometric forms and a color combination system, which can be used universally and impact the educational system, particularly in the education of geometry and combinatorics. The complexity emerging out of Poly-universe’s simplicity makes it more than a game, more than art, more than mathematics: these elements come all together – creating synergy in education. The project was supported by the European Commission. Published in the Communication does not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission.

The 27-month EARLYPOLY project was launched in October, 2024, supported by the European Commission Strategic Partnerships Framework Programme. The aim of the project is to develop innovative, transdisciplinary pedagogical methods that are primarily related to a revolutionary educational tool, called Poly-Universe, targeting the age group 3-10 of learners. We intend to discover the possibilities of introducing and applying the Poly-Universe kit in preschool and lower-primary school education, in the spirit of striving for completeness.

The birth of the Poly-Universe toolkit itself is the result of a fundamentally art-driven concept, which, however, in addition to aesthetic aspects, opened up new perspectives first in the teaching of mathematics and then in further disciplines. Today, we can declare that the Poly-Universe kit has become part of everyday life in many schools. The aim of this project is to facilitate the incorporation of this everyday practice into early-childhood education and the transfer of methodological foundations to teachers and educators in formal and non-formal settings as well.
