Now that you have seen the different types of 2-D figures created when slicing 3-D
objects, you will work on some problems on your own. First identify the type of figure
you are looking at and where the plane slices the figure. Then you can identify the 2-D
figure created. If you have any questions, please let me know. We will go over the
problems when you are done.
Exploring/Extending:
Now that the students know how to create a cross section, I would extend this activity
by challenging the students to identifying what type of figure was used to create the
cross section pictured. Looking at the concept from a reverse point a view will
determine if the students truly understand the concept of creating 2-D figures from 3-D
objects. Can the figure only be created using either a right rectangular prism or a right
rectangular pyramid? Or could the 2-D figure be created by both? How do you know?
Explain.
Adaptations for Diverse and Special Needs:
Many of my students struggle while taking notes. In this class, the way we takes notes
varies depending on the lesson. For this lesson, the notes will be provided for the
students in order to ensure that the students are looking at the correct information. It is
hard to draw figures sliced with planes, showing the proper cross section.
