This activity builds on the activity in Geometry, Figure It Out, Levels 2–3, page 11.
Students must have the opportunity to make the buildings illustrated in this activity and then discuss and draw the different perspectives of the buildings. Some students will find visualisation of this kind very difficult. Talk with them about the perspectives that they are looking for.
Remind them that, in each case, they are looking for the number of flat surfaces that can be seen.
A further challenge is to give students the different views and ask them to build the shape and
draw isometric drawings.
