Moving On

Up to this time we had limited sets of Gifts 5 and 6 to play with, and therefore shared by building Life Forms together, as noted in previous sessions and exercises.
Gretchen, James and Joanne decided to complete the same practice exercise, described as a triangular ground-form. The hands-on exercise, as illustrated in the Kindergarten Guide, requires that individual pieces (blocks) be moved in inches, or quarter or half or three-quarter inches in relation to each other.
The right-angled square grid didn't seem to be of much help when working with triangular- shaped parts. Therefore, after one cube is moved, other corresponding cubes were moved in the same manner to keep the form symmetrical.
The group noticed that specific angles were made throughout the transformation exercises; notably, angles of 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 240 degrees.
