Make mirrored images with Lego
Supplies
- Lego baseplate x 2
- Lego Pieces
Procedure
Take the baseplate and calculate where the center point is. Build a dividing line at the midpoint with a single color.
Make a pattern with different pieces on one side of the board. When you attach the brick to the baseplate, move a similar piece to a pile on the other side. Once you are done with the pattern, check that you have placed the same pieces that you used to make the pattern.
Give the half-filled base plate to your partner. Also, swap the loose blocks with your pair. See what pattern the couple has made on the other side of the plate. Make a similar pattern to a game on the other side of the center line using the pieces you’ve been given.
Challenge
- Make a half-pattern without a midline with a partner.
- Look at your surroundings and see what you find that is symmetrical.
