Welcome to TMELA’s Challenge Page
This page is designed to encourage you to think,
trial different possibilities and communicate your answers or findings
to me.
You can communicate with me (including
asking questions) by e-mailing:
enquiries@tmela.com.au
I hope you enjoy the activities.

 Here are 3 structures for you to build. I suggest
you copy and paste my block as needed, and paint each the colours you
need and build with these using the drawing tools of ordering and
grouping to position them as you need to.
You need all the clues put together to build each
building. You may find it easier to physically construct these with
real blocks and then represent this on the computer.
|
BUILDING ONE
-
The two blue blocks do not touch each
other.
-
The two red blocks do not touch each
other.
-
There are six blocks in all.
-
One of the blocks is yellow.
-
Each red block shares an edge with
the yellow block.
-
The green block shares one face with
each of the other five blocks.
-
Each blue block shares on edge with
each of the red blocks.
BUILDING TWO
-
One of the yellows is above the green
block; the other is below.
-
There are six blocks in all, in a
tower six blocks high.
-
There is a yellow block on top.
-
The red block is above the green
block.
-
No two blocks of the same colour
touch each other.
-
There are two yellows, two blues, one
green, and one red in the set of blocks.
-
Each of the blue blocks shares a face
with a green block.
BUILDING THREE
-
A blue block shares a face with a
yellow block.
-
There is a red block on the bottom
level.
-
There is a red block directly below a
yellow block.
-
There is a green block on the bottom
level.
-
There is a red block directly on top
of a yellow block.
-
The highest block is on the third
level.
-
A blue block touches red and green
blocks only along edges.
-
There are three blocks on the bottom
level.
-
A yellow block touches a white block
only along an edge.
-
There are six blocks in all.
-
A white block shares a face with a
green block and two others.

PART TWO
Look at this simple design.
And then look at it from different views. |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Front View |
Side
View |
Top View |
|
Now
you are to draw each of your three buildings from different perspectives –
front, side and top views.
PART
THREE (if you have time)
Try making up some simple buildings of
your own and write the clues for them
Clues need to include very precise
language
Draw your buildings separately.
A good process is to have someone else
test your instructions (without seeing the answer) to make sure they are
clear.
Include the language - faces, vertices
and edges when describing your building
Test it with someone else, then send it
to me with your 3D computer drawing of it.
