Introduction
We are students of 4t ESO, in Institute Teresa Pàmies. It is located in district Horta-Guinardó, near Sagrada Familia.
Members of the group: Biel de San Martin, Mateu Salas, Héctor Climent and Waleeha Waleeha and Max Samsó.
The project is called ''Recerca, Creació i Servei'' in which we have collaborated with ''Museu de matèmatiques de Catalunya''.
MMACA is a museum situated in Cornellà, Barcelona. Its objective is to learn mathematics in a fun and positive way. It is very famous for its manipulative activities. They also have a 360º virtual visit on their website with lots of math concepts and modules related to geometry, calculations, statistics and mirror symmetry.
Here is a link of the museum: https://mmaca.cat/
Palau Mercador, MMACA.
The project of mmaca is to develop different modules from the museum, adding diferent languages so it is available for everyone. Also, we have programmed them on different platforms with different level so that learners can play it online and have fun.
Through this project, we hope to encourage a greater approach for mathematics and its applications in the world around us.

Description of the module
Description of the module
The Circuits is a game very similiar to Tantrix which is a tile-based game invented in 1987 by Mike McManaway. The game is always played with at least three colors blue, yellow and green. The players have to arrange the tiles which are basically made from plastic or wood annd the goal is to make loops.
The name ''tantrix'' is a combination of ''tangle'' and ''matrix'' expressing its complexity and has become a popular game for both children and adults.
While the original game has 56 hexagonal pieces of 40 puzzles, there are also mini-games where it adapts to every person's level making it more fun and available for everyone.
This game consists of a set of hexagonal tiles and as we have mentioned above the objective is to arrange the tiles to form loops. A loop is a line which curves back to join itself. They can be formed in any direction and can also cross over each other.
The hexagonal tiles can also be used to learn basic geometry concepts such as angles and symmetry.
Also, it can be played by two or more people as cooperative or as a competitive version. There is also a Tantrix world championship which is held anually. Apart from that, there are also World Junior Championship and National championship.
In conclusion, it is a fun and challenging game where you need logical and strategical skills. It is easy to learn but difficult to master and offers many benefits other than entertainment. It's a tool for learning, and a way to connect with people.

In our project, we created this game ''The circuits'' using scratch and virtulize it so that people can have access and easily play it.
Before playing there are some rules and that we have already mentioned above, that need to be followed:
1- Locate correctly: all the tiles need to be put correctly.
2- Take from the bag: When you take a piece in tantrix, always grab a new one without looking inside.
3- Gobbel: the player wo has the turn will have to fill a Gobbel as long as he can.
To play the game we need 56 hexagonals pieces and 1-6 persones can play it.
Instructions
Instructions
To play the module of the circuits, you have to enter the link below that will bring you to scratch.
When you are in the scratch you need to click the green flag to start. We made our game of 14 pieces so that people from all age can easily play it.
Once you are on the left screen, to move the pieces you will have to drag them with mouse, and if you click on them they will rotate 60 degrees to the right.
