Teacher: Get down to eye level so that you are facing the front of the building. Can you describe what you see?
|
Show Answer |
Student:
I see two cubes, seven cubes, and two cubes.
|
|
 |
|
Teacher: Look straight on. Can you tell me what you see on the left column?
|
Show Answer |
Student:
Oh, yeah, there are three cubes in the tallest stack of the left column, so it should be three cubes high instead of the two that I drew.
|
|
 |
|
Teacher: What do you see on the far right column?
|
Show Answer |
Student:
There are also three cubes in the back, and that is the highest stack for that column.
|
|
 |
|
Teacher: How did you get two cubes in your original drawing?
|
Show Answer |

I was just looking at what was in the front row and not at the tallest stack in that column.

Teacher: Look at the building from the back view. Is your drawing correct?

Show Answer |
Student:
Yes. The tallest stacks are three, seven, and three.
|
|
 |
|
Teacher: Check your drawing from the right side. Is it correct?
|
Show Answer |
Student:
Yes; on the left, the tallest stack is two. In the middle, the tallest stack is seven, and on the right, the tallest stack is three.
|
|
 |
|
Teacher: Now look from the left. Do you see the same thing?
|
Show Answer |
Student:
Oops. No, the left and right columns are reversed, so it should be three, seven, and two, not two, seven, and three, as I drew it.
|
|
 |
|
Teacher: What do you notice about your drawings of the left and right views?
|
Show Answer |

They are reversed.
