spacecraft. 1. Divide into groups.
2. Each group stacks soft geometric solids
2. Have students use geometric solids to build
new shapes by playing this game. using the top and side views drawn on
the card.
Hand out the soft geometric solids to
students.
Divide students into groups.

2. Build Understanding
Another way to emphasize the two-dimensional view is to have students place the palm of one hand over one
of their eyes. To a small degree, this minimizes depth perception for close-up viewing (less than 10 feet).
Have students stand over the stacked figures and try the “one-eye” approach with the top view.
