<mdoxml version="1.0"><h4 style="text-align: center;">An activity for two, three or four pupils working together.</h4>
<br></br>
<div style="text-align: center;"><mdo:image alt="sm Mirrors" height="196" src="small%20mirrors.jpg" width="660"></mdo:image></div>
<br></br>
Well, that's three photos of three different ways of putting some blocks together. But there's a mirror behind the black strip. In the mirror you can see the reflections.<br></br>
<br></br>
Now here are some more pictures but only the reflection is shown and you have to place blocks that will make thst reflection.<br></br>
<br></br>
<div style="text-align: center;"><mdo:image alt="1st" height="250" src="1st%20Mirror.jpg" width="250"></mdo:image></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">There's a grid to help you.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Here's another for you to try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><mdo:image alt="2nd" height="250" src="2nd%20mirror.jpg" width="250"></mdo:image></div>
<br></br>
Now here's two that will probably need more careful thinking.<br></br>
<br></br>
<div style="text-align: center;"><mdo:image alt="3 & 4" height="250" src="mirror%203%20%26%204.jpg" width="500"></mdo:image></div>
<br></br>
<br></br>
<br></br>
So, one of your group makes a model, maybe something like this;<br></br>
<div style="text-align: center;"><mdo:image src="mirror%20eg1.jpg"></mdo:image></div>
<div>Others in the group now have to make the image that woud be seen in the mirror.<br></br>
You therefore make it like the one behing the mirror, as here;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><mdo:image src="mirror%20eg2.jpg"></mdo:image></div>
<div>Now its over to you, remember to use a variety of colours in your models and the reflections must show the correct colour positions.</div></mdoxml>
