Solids and Views

A solid is in 3D. But we can only draw in 2D....

So how can we draw a solid?

What does this cube look like when you look directly down onto it?

Draw what you'd see in your book.

What about it you looked from the front?

... or the side?

Draw these in your book as well.

Understanding Views

If you look at a cube from the top, it looks like a square as the face is a square.

The same is true of the other views.

Looking at something from the top is called a plan.

Looking from the front and side are called the elevations.

So for the cube we have the views as

Plan Front Elevation Side Elevation

Notice that the squares are all equal in size as its a cube!!

For each of these solids...

You have 10 cubes and the plan view for 6 different solids.

Your task is to work out what these solids look like and present your answers to the class.

You will not have time to complete all 6.

You have 30 mins to complete the task.
