SYMMETRIX Mirror Magic

Explore the mathematical concept of symmetry with magical mirror reflections with this unique kit. 

Attach one or both of the included mirror plates to the base, insert a circular graphic symmetry card underneath, and rotate the card in either direction to project a stunning kaleidoscope of patterns.  As you rotate each card, the kaleidoscope pattern will change.  Experiment with different mirror angles from 30 to 180 degrees and three different types of symmetry cards. 

The 18 two-sided symmetry cards can create over 90 different kaleidoscope patterns.  Try to predict what the partial images on the cards will become with the 2 different mirror plates.  Blank cards are included to add your own designs with wipe-off markers.  Experiment with numbers, letters, faces, simple drawings, or any designs you can imagine. 

The possibilities are truly endless.  Includes base plate, 2 mirror plates, 8 two-sided 1/2 symmetry cards, 6 two-sided 1/4 symmetry cards, 4 two-sided multi-pattern symmetry cards, 2 blank symmetry cards, instruction guide.
