Hands-On Activities

These applet consists of 20 problems. Each time one 3-D object is given with 4 views. The 3D object is an interactive one: you can rotate the object on your screen using the mouse. This enables you to find out from which direction the side view was drawn.
  • WisWeb Color 1 One or more sides are colored in red. In each view the corresponding sides have to be colored.
  • WisWeb Color 2 In the side views, one or more sides are colored in red. In the 3-D view the corresponding sides have to be colored.
  • WisWeb Pick a View You have to 'guess' from what direction the side view is taken.
