Abstract: The main objective of our Erasmus+PUSE project was to develop a new visual educational system for mathematics: the PUSE (Poly-Universe in School Education) Methodology, Visual Experience Based Mathematics Education 2019. The PUSE was based on the Poly-Universe game, which is a geometric skill-developing game by János Szász SAXON Hungarian fine artist. The novelty value of Poly-Universe lies in the scale-shifting symmetry inherent in its geometric forms and a colour combination system, which can be used universally and impact the educational system, particularly in the education of mathematics: geometry, sets and logic, combinatorics and probability, graphs and algorithms etc. The complexity emerging from its simplicity makes it more than a game, more than art, more than mathematics: these elements come all together – creating synergy in education...
