Math investigastions

We first started learning how to draw a house by learning how to draw 3d cubes in 3 different ways. Then we picked the easiest one to draw a 3D house and drew then out a few times in our sketch book then we drew 1x1 2x2 3x3 4x4 and 5x5 3D cubes on isometric dotted line Paper. Then we coloured the 3D cubes in a different shadings. I found that task quiet easy.

The next step was looking at 1 cm cubes that we played with and looked at the different shapes we could make. Then drew out about 15 of the shapes we made on isometric paper then we drew roads and all the little detail that a city needs. We had to make sure we drew the roads and car parks on an angle or else it wouldn’t look right. I found this activity a bit hard harder then the first Because some of the shapes were hard to draw.

Here is my city

Our next task was to pick a 3D shae from the 3D city and enlarge it on to our A3 isometric papper. Once we had drawn it we drew windows and doors to the sides of the house.Drawing the windows and doors was a difficult task since you had to draw then on an angle. Once that was inshed we had to decorate the rest of he papper with lawn ,plants, shed eg. I chose to add a small cuby an a separate garage. I found this task diffcult and easy.

The next task was to draw the front, rear and side views of our 3D house. Ifoundthis task quiet hard with a screwed up house model(from a bit of an incident that hapend at home)I drew the front view first then the rear and side views after that I mounted them and stuck them in my skecthbook. Here are my 3D house views.

This is my choco box. Inthis task we had to design our own chocolate bar in a box (thats why it's called choco box)We could call it anything we wanted but we had certain measurements to follow.I called my choco box fudgie crunch.This task was challenging for me.
