Seeing the Same Thing from Different Sides
Lesson
Children commonly assume the front view always looks like the object's 'face' regardless of orientation — use the brick task to surface this by rotating a real rectangular box and asking what changes. Let Us Do Q3, p.26 is set as home practice so students can apply view-naming independently to a wider set of objects.
0–8Students study the hide-and-seek scene and discuss Let Us Do Q1, p.24 ("look at the hide-and-seek picture; answer: (a) which game....") in pairs; the class shares responses, noticing that the viewer's position determines what is visible.
8–22Students examine the three brick drawings and work through Let Us Do Q2, p.25 ("Mini, Bholu and Rani drew the same brick differently — discuss why...."), completing the table that names each child's view. The teacher draws attention to how standing above, in front, or to the side produces a different outline.
22–40Students attempt Let Us Do Q4, p.27 ("match the side/front/top view drawings made by Jagat and Rani with the correct 3D objects...."), matching labelled view drawings to pyramid, cube, and prism shapes. Pairs compare their matches and articulate the reasoning that connects each view to its object.
Homework
Look at nine pictures of objects (TV, sofa, slipper, cup, school bus, chair, bolt, pizza cutter, helmet); write each object's name and which view is shown. (**Let Us Do Q3, p.26**)
Let Us Do Q2, p.25 — Mini, Bholu and Rani drew the same brick differently — discuss why; fill table: whose drawing shows top view, front view, side view.
Three children look at the same cylindrical water bottle — Anil from directly above, Bina from the front, and Charu from the side. Bina and Charu's drawings look the same (a tall rectangle). Anil's drawing looks different. What does Anil's drawing look like?
- A A circle
- B A square
- C A tall rectangle
- D A triangle
A. A circle
What each wrong option reveals
- B The student recognises a non-rectangular shape is expected but selects a four-sided figure rather than the circular top.
- C The student is applying the front or side view to the top position, not thinking about which face faces upward.
- D The student may be confusing a cylinder with a cone or guessing without reasoning about the shape.
