Playing with Blocks

Empire Star

Yesterday I showed how Empire Star is made by reflecting this unit. 

The 2 on the left are the mirror image of the 2 on the right and the 2 on the bottom are the mirror image of the two on the top.

I found three new blocks by reflecting the unit differently.


What if, instead of reflecting the unit, I rotate it? What new blocks will I find?

The basic unit is a square that I can rotate around any one of its corners.

What if I rotate the unit around one of the blue corners?

What if I rotate the unit around the other blue corner?

What if I rotate the unit around the white corner?

What if I rotate the unit around the split blue and white corner?



I've created 4 blocks that are new to me. If any of these blocks are not new to you and you can put a name to them, let me know.
