Slide 1
Three-Dimensional Figures

Review the "Finding the Math in Sculpture" video, starting at the beginning and going 1:15 into the video. See if you can spot any of the three-dimensional figures below in Ms. Mears’ sculptures. Next, enter the name of each of the three-dimensional figures in the boxes provided, and click Submit.

Description of quiz area: First blank box corresponds to figure with square base and 4 triangular sides.
Second blank box corresponds to round figure with no base, edges, or sides.
Third blank box corresponds to figure with two round bases and no flat sides.
Fourth blank box corresponds to figure with six square sides.
Fifth blank box corresponds to figure with a triangular base and three triangular sides.

 The correct answers are:
1. square pyramid
2. sphere
3. cylinder
4. square prism or cube
5. triangular pyramid

Slide 2
As you heard in the video, Ms. Mears uses models prior to constructing her full-sized sculptures. Below are the nets that can be used to build the three-dimensional figures you identified in the video.
Drag and drop each three-dimensional figure in the box to match its corresponding net.

Image description: First row shows next for each three dimensional figure. Beneath the row of nets, are corresponding blank boxes for users to drag the correct three-dimensional figure into. The final row shows the three-dimensional figures that can be dragged into the blank boxes to match to their corresponding nets.

Nets
The first net shows two round bases and a flat rectangle.
The second net shows a triangular base and three triangular sides laid flat.
The third net shows multiple connecting ovals laid flat.
The fourth net show a square base and six square sides laid flat.
The fifth net shows a square base and four triangular sides laid flat.

Figures
The first three dimensional figure is a sphere.
The second three-dimensional figure is a square prism or cube.
The third three-dimensional figure is a triangular pyramid.
The fourth three-dimensional figure is square pyramid.
The fifth three-dimensional figure is a cylinder.

Answer:
The first net showing two round bases and a flat rectangle corresponds to the cylinder.
The second net showing a triangular base and three triangular sides laid flat corresponds to the triangular pyramid.
The third net showing multiple connecting ovals laid flat corresponds to the sphere.
The fourth net showing a square base and six square sides laid flat corresponds to the square prism or cube.
The fifth net showing a square base and four triangular sides laid flat corresponds to the square pyramid.

Slide 3
Now that you've completed the matching activity, study each net and its corresponding three-dimensional figure.

The first net showing two round bases and a flat rectangle corresponds to the cylinder.
The second net showing a triangular base and three triangular sides laid flat corresponds to the triangular pyramid.
The third net showing multiple connecting ovals laid flat corresponds to the sphere.
The fourth net showing a square base and six square sides laid flat corresponds to the square prism or cube.
The fifth net showing a square base and four triangular sides laid flat corresponds to the square pyramid.
