In this unit, students will use tools such as Thomas used three rhombi to show a view of the cube.

dimensional. using cubes. Show views of the shapes using five rhombus stickers.
What is a rhombus? A quadrilateral shape Have students rotate and place the rhombus
similar to a square but with angled sides,
similar to a diamond. stickers to show the views of the figures below. What you need: Rhombus Stickers (A10)
What is a cube? A three-dimensional shape
with every side a square.
How can an oblong shape like a rhombus
form a straight shape like a cube? Rhombi
cannot form cubes, but on a flat surface like a
sheet of paper, rhombi can be configured to
create the illusion of a cube.
Can you think of any other examples of
two-dimensional shapes creating the
illusion of three-dimensional objects?
Triangles can be used to create the illusion of
a pyramid.
Have students use the rhombus stickers to
recreate the images on the page.

2. Build Understanding
Beginning to attempt to see an image two different ways, two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally, may
be difficult for some students. Offer some solutions to help with the process.
1. Begin by studying the individual parts of the three-dimensional shape. Look within the lines. Take note of
what you see. Sketch each piece individually if needed to gain understanding of how they fit together.
2. Rotate the rhombus stickers several times to familiarize yourself with how they look from every angle.
3. Practice forming various shapes with the rhombus stickers before committing to a single correct answer.
