To Do : Scan or take digital photos of the four (4) results, post one image for each and below each one describe the puzzle solving strategies each of you employed. Work to identify when and how you used the various visual thinking operations defined in the McKim reading. Remember, the blog exercises are an opportunity to practice using the vocabulary.
1. The first puzzle we did is "The Cat". In this puzzle we are trying to find how many different triangles can be counted in the cat. My friend and i each get our separate page and did the puzzles separately, it isn't too hard to find but we both missed one, I was over by one triangle and he was one less. For my puzzle, i counted all the individual triangles first and then i count the ones that grouped into triangles. I figured out where the triangles were concealed in the picture (according to the McKim reading from the chapter Images in Action). By the end, i over counted by 1. My partner Jacky visually draw out the triangles in the brain and counted from top to bottom. He count from small triangles and then the big triangles that's around. He got 19 and miss one as well.
2. The second puzzle is counting the cubes' direction and match them in pairs. I found this more difficult than the first one because there are a lot of rotations and memory processes in brain that makes the shapes more confusing for me. We both used the rotation method in the brain and both tried to capture the image at the same angle and find the corresponding pair. Another strategy i used is to convert 3d to 2d in my brain, which is only remember one setting of the squares from one single side and eliminate the mis-matching ones then keep going. (McKim's image action and converging), it took me so much time to figure out the pairs but gladly the answers were all correct. I like the 2nd puzzle more than the 1st one because it uses both side of the brain visually and logically, very challenging but fun little games.
