3. Now draw any one of these cubes from above.

CHALLENGE!

Ask your educator for the sheet of paper that you will need.

  • Take off one of your school shoes:
  • Draw it from above.
  • Draw it from the side.
  • Draw it from below.

DID YOU KNOW?

We can make use of co-ordinates when we need to read a map or directions. It is

important to know that we always have to read the horizontal axis first.

In this example, point A reads as

paired numbers (1,2).

If you read the pair (3,1), you will

arrive at B.

Sometimes direction is also given, and then it is: (1E, 2N) or (3E, 1N).

Assessment

Learning Outcome 3: The learner will be able to describe and represent characteristics and relationships between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in a variety of orientations and positions.

Assessment Standard 3.7: We know this when the learner draws and interprets sketches of simple three-dimensional objects from different positions (perspectives).
