This task is about drawing views of objects.
Practical task
Your teacher will place 3 objects together on a desk so that you can view them from all 4 sides (front, back, right side, left side).
a) Draw the shape of the 3 objects, in relation to each other, from each viewpoint - front, back, left side, right side onto your paper. Clearly label each viewpoint.
b) Using only the drawings you have already made, draw a top view of the shapes of the 3 objects on the desk, in relation to each other, onto your paper.

Task administration: 
This can be completed with pencil and paper.
 
Equipment
Pencil; recording sheet for each student.
  • This task assesses students' ability to draw 3-dimensional objects from a variety of viewpoints. Students are also required to predict a top view of the arrangement of objects.
  • Arrange 3 geometric shaped boxes/packages on a desk top, as per the diagram below , in a position where students can view the objects from all sides.
  • Shapes may be varied from those shown, however the scoring guide is set for the objects shown.
  • The 3 objects are to be removed before the students draw the top view​.

Answers/responses: 
a)
Student completes 4 different views of the 3 objects in relation to each other.
 
Left side Right side
 
Back view Front view

NOTE: Students may not complete 3-D drawings. This is not considered an error as task assesses position of objects in relation to each other.
b)

The top view shows the correct shape of the 3 objects. For example:

      
All top views of the 3 objects are positioned correctly in relation to each other.
NOTE: Student responses may vary according to orientation of their top view.
