Groupwork Exercises

Process:

Split off into the groups assigned by the teacher.
Then find the question(s) assigned to your group. Sources of information are provided for you under each question.
These questions should be answered by the entire group.
If the group cannot decide on one answer then put in any alternative answers the group may have found
Once you have completed the tasks for your group and had your three-dimensional representation checked, then we will rotate groups until everyone has answered all the questions.

Group One:

Conclusion:

You have seen how your mind sees thing differently from the person next to you and that when you are building or creating something from a 2-dimensional into a 3-dimensional object that you draw from your own mind and your own past knowledge to build the object. For some people this comes more naturally than for other people, but with practice and building prior knowledge all of you will be able to change a 2-dimensional object into a 3-dimensional object that you can hold in your hand.
