Students explore drawing the front-right-top view when given a three dimensional figure built from cubes. Using the isometric drawing tool provided by Illuminations, students discuss the role of isometric drawings as one way to represent three dimensional figures. Students compare drawings from the front-right-top view.
Students will:
- Draw the Front-Right-Top view when given a three dimensional figure built from cubes.
- Build a three dimensional figure when given the front-right-top view.
NCTM Standards and Expectations covered in this lesson include:
- Using visual tools such as networks to represent and solve problems.
