snap a picture of this object what do you think it would look like from the
Front? Top ? Side?

Cube-n-ometry Let’s go back and study what
makes a cube from the beginning

Cube-n-ometry What differences can you see in
the two figures?
Two - dimensional
Three-dimensional

Cube-n-ometry What differences can you see in
the two figures?
Two - dimensional
Three-dimensional
The major difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects, is that three-dimensional objects have depth/width.

Cube-n-ometry Views of a three
dimensional block figure can be broken down into three views:

Build this three dimensional block figure.
What does it look like from the front, top, and side views?

Cube-n-ometry Surface Area Surface Area – what
we see; think of how much wrapping paper is needed to wrap a present
To find the surface area we need to count the number of faces that can be seen
Volume Volume – how much
space does an object take up
To find the volume of an object we need to know the number of cubes needed to build the object and the volume of 1 cube

Cube-n-ometry Review Build your own three-dimensional block
figure using your blocks. Fill in your grids for the front, top, and
side views of you figure. Switch with a student sitting next to you
and try to build each others figure. Check to see if their answer is correct,
but remember there can be more than one right answer.
