Mirrors and Reflections

The Mirror Puzzle Book

0 906212 39 1 Marion Walter
This is a kind of puzzle book with no words which is highly intriguing. On each page there are twelve colourful designs, and also a 'mirror master'. The small card mirror, on its stand, has to be placed on the mirror master so that each image seen matches each of the designs in turn. Finding where to place the mirror is seldom easy and always fascinating and is a useful introduction to ideas of symmetry.

M is for Mirror

Find the hidden pictures.
0 906212 66 9 Duncan Birmingham
An alphabet book with charming surprises is the best way to describe this collection of cunning pictures. Each contains special hidden images which are only revealed by using the card mirror provided. Find just the right place to put the mirror, and the mad pianist becomes an astronomer looking at the moon. An explorer in the desert becomes the pyramids he is looking for and an octopus becomes a bunch of flowers.

Look Twice

Use the mirror to find pairs of opposites.
0 906212 86 3 Duncan Birmingham
A card mirror is the key to this amazing exploration of visual and verbal connections. Each of the pictures can be transformed by means of the mirror into a pair of opposites. Concepts like 'open and shut', 'tidy and untidy', 'ancient and modern' are each illustrated by placing the mirror in just the right places on what seem to be perfectly normal pictures. A delight to children of 5 and well upwards. Probably many adults too.

The Magic Cylinder Book

Hidden pictures to colour and discover.
0 906212 67 7 Ivan Moscovich
This book deals in a fascinating way with the reflections seen in a cylinder mirror. The distorted or 'anamorphic pictures', spring to life when seen in the magic cylinder. There is a lively collection of animals and circus characters to see and plenty more to colour, all drawn by a clever method which is explained later in the book. Then it shows how to draw such pictures yourself and there is a photocopy master to use for further investigations. The cylinder itself fastens together in a cunning way and packs away flat within the book.

Reflection Activities Project Pack

DIME mirror investigations Geoff Giles
What better way of studying mirror symmetry than by looking at reflections in a mirror! Placing a card mirror vertically on one of the carefully chosen diagrams automatically creates an image which has line symmetry. The immediate task is to find exactly where to place the mirror so that the resulting image matches each of a series of alternative diagrams in turn. Starting in a simple way, this project pack gradually builds up an understanding of the properties of mirrors and of mirror symmetry. It is a popular, valuable and extremely well thought-out project.
