A lesson plan for grades 6–7 Mathematics
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.
Students will:
- Construct three dimensional figures.
- Determine when two isometric drawings can represent the same shape.
- Determine what possible shapes might have the same isometric drawing.
- Explain their reasoning.
