the number of carriages you have to fill. The displays also
shows which numbers can be used to complete the operation. |
|
| Take
Part consists of three on-screen films which show shapes
being divided into halves, thirds or quarters. The transitions
of the shapes are made mainly through, rotation, reflection
or shears. |
|
