Let's look at Building Viewpoints in a classroom setting.

As you view the activity, keep these questions in mind:

How do students progress from the representation of the model that is provided to developing their own drawings on grid paper?
How do the students develop deeper mathematical thinking from the use of their drawings on grid paper?
What is the value of having students use two-dimensional tools, like the grid paper, to represent three-dimensional structures?
Why does the teacher choose this particular activity? How will it help students prepare to draw three-dimensional representations on their grid paper?

The interactive feature on this page requires
the FLASH 5 player/plugin.

If you do not see a Flash feature above, or if it is behaving strangely, you should
download the player/plugin from the Macromedia web site.
