3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Use this interactive tool to create dynamic drawings on isometric dot paper.
6-8
Explore
polyhedra using different representations and perspectives for three
dimensional block figures.
6-8
Students explore drawing a mat plan when given a three dimensional figure built from cubes. Students also explore building a three dimensional figure when given the mat plan.
6-8, 9-12
In this lesson, students use polydrons to create nets of rectangular prisms. They discover that there are many configurations for rectangular prisms with the same volume, and determine that certain configurations minimize surface area. The lesson continues in a discovery activity related to building the most cost-efficient and appealing fish tank.
6-8
In this lesson, students use cubes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. Students are given the opportunity to build and take apart structures based on cubes.
6-8
Students examine some isometric drawings that seem to be impossible and
investigate one way Escher used to create these "impossible" figures.
6-8
Using three dimensional figures they have constructed, students determine when two isometric drawings can represent the same shape and explain their reasoning. Students will also determine what possible shapes might have the same isometric drawing and explain their reasoning.
6-8
Using the isometric drawing tool, students build three-dimensional figures and find the surface area and volume of each figure.
6-8
Students explore drawing the front-right-top view when given a three dimensional figure built from cubes. Students also explore building a three dimensional figure when given the front-right-top view.
6-8
Students explore using the isometric drawing tool and gain practice and experience in manipulating drawings.
