with only one line each. Superimpose on each other, then connect to
large triangle edges, forming a hexagon.
6. Flip smaller triangles over on their black lines into large triangle,
then reform hexagon.
7. Locate the yellow pieces with two black lines and superimpose on
each other. Build the triangle with them.
8. Superimpose this triangle onto the inner triangle of the hexagon.
9. Invite the child to build it on the solid one.
10. “Watch.” Slide off each rhombus.
11. Invite the child to superimpose each rhombus on each other.
12. Invite the child to make another figure with the gray and
