Constructing plans and elevations
MA29-03
This lesson is coming soon.
In this lesson
Draw the plan and elevation views of a given solid, and build an isometric-grid drawing of a solid from its plan and elevations, correctly converting dots to units.
What it covers
- Constructing plan and elevation drawings by hand from a given solid
- Constructing an isometric-grid representation of a solid from its plan and elevations
- Dot-counting/unit conversion between isometric dots and square-grid units
- The direction: square grid stays parallel to real edges, never a diagonal replica of the isometric drawing

For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches constructing plans and elevations. By the end, students should be able to draw the plan and elevation views of a given solid, and build an isometric-grid drawing of a solid from its plan and elevations, correctly converting dots to units. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
