Maths+Investigations

=   = =  We started by learning how to draw 3D cubes on dotted paper. We drew them in different sizes getting bigger each time. To make them look more 3D we shaded the cubes in from the light side to the dark side. When we had done that we learnt how to connect the cubes to together using four cubes to make one shape. I feel that I did well in this activity and that I liked it better than a normal maths lesson. From using the shapes of the cubes when they were joined I created a city. I used as many shapes as I could fit, but only one of each was on the page. I didn’t think that it would turn out as good as it was. The shading of the colours added more than I would have suspected. This is my city:    In term 2 everybody started doing 3D houses. For the 3D house you had to pick a shape from the 3D city. You had to create the house with doors, windows and bricks wood if you wanted to. I really enjoyed this activity. I am also very pleased with the final piece as well. =
