Examine examples of pairs of shapes. Use the Modify tool to rotate, enlarge, reduce and flip each shape in a pair, to work out its features. This learning object is one in a series of nine objects.

• TLF-IDL10331

Help sort pairs of shapes in the Shape factory. Examine examples of basic shapes that belong in the Yes set. Examine examples of basic shapes that do not belong in the set. Work out what features of the shapes are important and test your ideas by sorting some shapes. Then program the robot and see if it sorts the shapes ...

Look down on some building towers (a plan view). Build a street-level view of the buildings from a given perspective: front, side or back. Move on to view buildings from a corner angle; build a side view. Then build a group of blocks consistent with top and side views. Rotate the scene to check views from different angles. ...

Explore visual perspectives of solids such as cylinders, cones and cuboids. Match a 2D photo of a group of 3D objects taken from a different viewpoint. Identify the relative positions of the solids by comparing 2D outlines and colours. Rearrange the objects on a base grid until the view matches the original photo. One of ...
