Changes

Memorize [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4063] is an existing Sugar activity - a memory game that requires the player to find matching pairs in a grid of tiles that are face down, so that besides knowing the matching tiles, the player is also required to remember the location of the tiles in case the match did not happen when the tiles were uncovered. For very small children, even the task of determining a matching pair can be difficult, so we need an identical game that can be played with tiles face up (not hidden). If you've schooled in India, this is similar to a 'Match the Following' kind of exercise that primary school children do.

The Memorize activity was cloned to another activity named 'TileMatch' that does as described above. This hasn't been released to the public on ALSO yet (some cosmetic cleaning up needs to be done) but you can preview it by downloading the .xo file ([[File:tilematch-01.xo]]) and loading it into Sugar.

Reflection [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4517] is an existing Sugar activity that is about achieving reflective symmetry. It uses four colours - black, white and the two colours from the learner's Sugar palette. While demostrating this to primary school teachers in a Teacher Trainng Program, the teachers felt that it might be even more exciting for the children if they had more colours to play around with, so that they could also make an attactive and colourful pattern while striving for symmetry. I mentioned this to Walter Bender, who has authored the original activity, and in a few days we had the new version of Refection ([[File:Reflection-8.xo]]) with the changes as desired. Note that an even more recent version may be available on ALSO (follow the link at the beginning of the paragraph).
