So if the volume here isĥ12 cubic centimeters, each dimension is going Something to the third power? Well, it's just gonna be this something. So we could say, that, x, I'll do it over here, x is equal to the cube root of, instead of writing 512, instead of writing 512, I could write eight to the third power. So 512 is the same thing asĮight to the third power.

Two, which is eight, times two times two times two. "So let me divide into three groups." So if this is one group, and this is the next group, and then this is the next group right over here, we could say that 512 is the same thing as two times two times two, which is eight, times two times two times Together, get us to 512? And to think about that, we could say, "Look, I have nine numbers here. But what we care about is what times itself times itself is equal, what number, if I have three of 'em and I multiply 'em So 512 that's the same thing as two to the, let's see you have, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Which is two times eight, which is two times four, which is two times two. That's two times 32, let's see, I can keep going, that's two times 16. That's two times 128, which is also divisible by two, that's two time 64, which is also divisible by two. So let's see, does two go into 512? Sure, 512s even, so this is going to be two times, let's see, 256, yeah, two times 256. So that's what I'm going to attempt to do. Think about doing this, if I don't have a calculator, is to just try to do a primeįactorization of this by hand. So what's the cube root of 512? And the easiest way I can Is going to be equal to 512, or we could say that x to the third power is equal to 512, or we could say that x is equal to the cube root of 512.

So if the volume is 512 cubic centimeters, that means that x times x times x is going to be equal to 512. If that's x then this is going to be x, and then this is x as well. You to pause the video and try to figure it out. So my question to you is, what are the dimensions of this cube? So what is this length gonna be? What is this, I guess you could say depth, and what is this height going to be? And, we know it's a cube, so these are all going to be equal. Show the drawing to students and ask how many cubes they see, then ask the same question after rotating the whole figure upside down.Say that we had a cube, let me draw the cube here, So we have a cube, and we know that the volume of this cube is equal to 512 cubic centimeters. You may end the lesson with an isometric puzzle. You may also let students work in pairs and create number diagrams for each other to construct additional 3D figures. Invite students to share which approaches they found most useful when drawing the 3D figures. Discuss how the diagrams showing the number of cubes in each grid help students construct the object. Share the same Polypad with students and invite them to work on creating 3D objects on the isometric grid. You may want to clarify the number of cubes ın each row and the column using the example before sharing the Polypad with the students. To let students explore the orientation of the cubes on their own, a simpler number diagram will be used throughout the activity. When a diagram showing the number of cubes in each grid is given, the respective 3D object can be constructed using these numbers. Use this Polypad to demonstrate another example. How many are in the first row and how many in the second? To avoid this, they can construct their figure using individual faces.ĭiscuss with students how many unit cubes are used to construct the L shape. You may show them that sometimes the cubes' faces coincide and when they have selected the entire figure, it can be seen differently. They might want to use different colors to emphasize the top and side views of the cube. After the drawings, students can use the rhombus or the custom polygon tools to fill the faces of the cube. You may ask students to draw different sizes of cubes using the ruler-pen tool. Use the ruler-pen option to draw the outline of the cube. Start by inserting a cube on the isometric canvas and rotating it to show students' different side views. Isometric drawings (isometric projections) are often used by designers, engineers, and illustrators who specialize in technical drawings. Change the grid on Polypad using the toolbar on the right of side of the canvas. Using an isometric grid can help us to create the illusion of depth on the paper. To do this, we create a view of the object on the paper (the 2D plane) This is called a projection. It is not easy to draw 3D objects on paper. In this lesson, students will construct three-dimensional figures using unit cubes on the isometric grid to generate the isometric views of the figures.
