If you flip a figure over and want to see it at a different angle, it will still be the same figure.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:51:07 UTC

With a few turns you can make a new 3D figure. I made a lever and with a few turns it looked like a gorilla.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:52:27 UTC

You can make two figures the same but change the positions to make them different.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:53:37 UTC

The 2D drawing doesn't show the layers. It makes it challenging to make a 3D shape from a 2D drawing.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:53:48 UTC

Pivot is where it rotates. You can pivot on the vertex of the shape.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:55:25 UTC

The more you twist and turn, the more objects (figures) you discover.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:56:21 UTC

It was kind of hard to draw the figures.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:56:40 UTC

When you're drawing a 3D figure, you should label them like "birds eye view".

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:57:06 UTC

With only four or five or six blocks you can make different shapes.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:57:54 UTC

It's like you have a Rubik's cube and you can twist it.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:58:02 UTC

Math vocabulary was really important like 'top', 'side', 'eagle eye'.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:58:57 UTC

Label the shapes to be more clear.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:59:17 UTC

We should have paid more attention and not talked.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:59:27 UTC

We could have used more math and directional vocabulary to explain our thinking better and be clearer.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 18:59:46 UTC

We can make different figures or structures.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 19:00:46 UTC

Being able to write down the math vocabulary.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 19:01:08 UTC

We could add area and perimeter to our figures.

(Connecting our learning to our Mayan structures)

> Can you relate this to real life?

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 19:02:11 UTC

In real life there are construction workers and they think about where they are going to go and then they use materials. It's kind of the same because we create structures and they create structures.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 19:02:36 UTC

Construction workers have to use their mind and the paper (blueprint) when building a house.

angelo_cariati — 2015-04-22 19:03:02 UTC

Architects change designs to make new buildings.
