In this section we are going to combine several concepts:

3D shapes
Recognisig tridimensional shapes in buildings and other constructions.
Looking for information on the Internet about buildings and their architects.
Knowing architecture styles
Separating compound 3D structures in simpler shapes/structures
Modeling 3D stuctures with Thinker Cad software
Instagram

ACTIVIDAD EXTRA: DESIGNING A BUILDING (+0.25)

1. The teacher gives the students a list of famous buildings and their architects, and students must look for them on the Internet.

2. Students must look for different photos of the building from several angles, information about the architect and the style.

3. By using Thinker Cad, students should replicate the building by using addition and substraction of 3D shapes.

4. When the replica was done, students will design a document with all the information (architect, location, style, 3D shapes,...)

Proyecto Grupo: Math photo exhibition in your school (20%)

3D shapes might be found all around in parcs, buildings, streets, and so on. Students must look for 3D shapes/structures locally, take photos and send them by Instagram to the teacher or a group administrator. Later, you can organise a Math photo exhibition in your school.

You can use this activity for other Maths concepts as simetry, graphs, probability...
