Lets Play 'Snap' Tasks

In this game you will use a three-dimensional representation of the puzzles; Tangram and Soma. These puzzles require the player to move objects to make patterns or shapes.

The tasks are as follows

  1. Using the Tangram three-dimensional model provided, move the pieces to create a pattern which is similar to one of the patterns provided. Ensure that 'object-snaps' are used when moving the pieces. Edit the 'surface styles' of the pieces to highlight the individual pieces. You are to make two patterns from the list provided. (You may choose any of the patterns)

  2. Using the Soma three-dimensional model provided, move the pieces to create a shape which is similar to one of the shapes provided (you may choose any shape). As for the Tangram puzzles, ensure the 'object-snaps' are used when moving the pieces.
