Puzzle Pieces
Puzzles are games that consist of reassembling a figure that is distributed broken down into a certain number of pieces made of cardboard or wood, among other materials. The pieces can have different shapes (generally the variety is limited and each set contains several of the same), so that each one fits only in certain parts. The normal thing is that the difficulty is measured based on the number of pieces, although the complexity of the image also influences.
The challenge of putting together a puzzle has several benefits for our mind, since it enhances our skills and our fine motor skills (placing each piece in the correct place requires a certain level of precision), making it ideal for children.
Puzzles for very young children do not usually present images or photographs, but rather pieces of different colors and shapes that must be placed in a mold. Each one can, in turn, have a number, a letter or a figure of an animal, for example, to stimulate the player's cognitive skills. Likewise, there are some that emit various sounds.
Other types of units
The pieces are also the units that share certain qualities and that are part of a set : “Yesterday I bought a tool kit that includes twenty different pieces,” “When Manuela got married, her mother gave her a set of forty-piece dinnerware.” .
Certain sets of works of art or ornaments recovered from ancient civilizations, for example, have unique pieces, highly valued by collectors ; Some of them can cost real fortunes when offered at auction. As a curious fact, many people find pieces of great value in their attics or basements, either because they belonged to their ancestors or because the previous owners had forgotten them there, and in most cases they ignore their historical or its market price.
A room can be a room or room.
More meanings of the term piece

The rooms or rooms that make up a building can also be called rooms: “My brother's room is full of Michael Jordan posters” , “We need a house with three rooms, so the children don't have to share a room” , “The rent “A room in this hotel costs two hundred pesos per night.”

In fact, it is common to speak of a room when its appearance is unpleasant or it is not in good condition, or when it is a small space that is rented in a boarding house or low-category hotel.
The figures used in various games (such as chess ), the prey obtained through fishing and hunting, and the dresses produced from the same piece of cloth are also known as pieces: “Place the pieces on the board while I prepare coffee” , “We went fishing at the pier and came back with five good-sized pieces” , “For the party I'm going to wear a one-piece dress” .
