About Turn It
An L, an S or another shape made of small squares appears on top. Your child looks at the answers and finds the one that is the same shape, only turned. One tricky answer is a mirror image, which looks close but cannot be made by turning.
How to play
- Look at the shape on top and remember how it looks.
- Turn it in your head and find the same shape below.
- Tap your answer, or press 1, 2, 3 or 4 on a computer.
What your child practices
- Mental rotation
- Spatial reasoning
- Telling turned from mirrored
- Visual problem solving
