INFORMATION ABOUT THE TASK
This task is about finding and using the charachteristics of the different 3-dimensional
shapes . Your task is to find themin different places as in the classroom, outside or on
other buildings.
Take pictures and tell the rest of the class about the shapes through a slideshow. The
slideshow is going to be a Pechakucha style, which means each slide will show for 20
seconds.

WHAT YOU NEED TO INCLUDE IN YOUR PRESENTATION


The name of the shape
A picture of the shape
The pictures you have been taking and dont forget to explain why you think the object
looks like the shape you have chosen and why you think the object has that kind of
shape.
What is the biggest and the smallest object that you found that has this shape?
What is this shape useful for?
And last but not least, tell us what you think of the shape, and what you think is the
best object to create by using that shape.

GEOMETRY

Geometry is something that we use in our everyday life

WEBPAGE 1
Here you will upload your slideshow: https://es.slideshare.net/upload

WEBPAGE 2
Here you have a webpage that might help you with describing the shapes and give you
inspiration for the slideshow. http://www.math-salamanders.com/list-of-geometric-

Details of the tasks

While students watch the presentation

The cylinder has two flat sides and one curved face.

The pyramid has a rectangular shaped base and four triangular shaped
bases and consists five vertices.

The cuboid has six flat sides and four vertices and twelve edges.

Instructions of the last phase in activity 1.


Now, use these three geometrical shapes to draw a buliding or and object. The
difficult part is that you only have a certain amount to work with. You only get 5,
10 or 20 of each shape. For example, 20 cuboids. 10 pyramids and 5 cylinders.
Choose wisely! Good luck!

After the drawing we will make these drawings come to life and make them by
hand. Later this will be something we will show to your family and friends by an
exposition!
