REFLECTION
We see reflections all around us - in mirrors
and glass. When we flip a structure / object
we are able to see the reflection.
• Working in groups of 4, the children work
with their 6 bricks.
• The first child uses 2 bricks to create a
structure.
The 2nd child then reflects the structure and
uses his own bricks to build the reflection.
The 3rd and 4th child then reflect the structure
again.
This activity can be done using more than 2
bricks. You can also use the bricks in various
positional and spatial structures.
TRANSLATION
Translation means moving without rotating or
flipping - sliding. When translating, every point of
an object / shape must be in the same direction and
distance.
• Working in groups of 4, the children work with
their 6 bricks.
• The first child uses 2 bricks to create a
• structure / shape, e.g. L shape
The 2nd child then translates the structure and uses
his / her own bricks to build the translation.
The 3rd and 4th child continue with the translation
of the structure.
This activity can be done using more than 2 bricks.
You can also use the bricks in various positional
and spatial structures.
