Exploring Arrangements of 2, 3, 4, and 5 Cubes

For Teachers 8th - 10th
Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Three Dimensional Solids

For Teachers 6th
In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders examine 3 isometric drawings and match them to 3 three-dimensional solids. They draw the front, side, and top views of 3 three dimensional solids by depicting the unit cubes that were used.

The Castle

For Teachers 6th - 11th
Learners build a castle to Ravi's design using the cubes. Students then make an original model of a solid object from diagrams which show views from the top, front, side and back. Learners describe the reflection of rotational symmetry...
