Week 5 - Euclidean (Square Pyramid)

This is another task given during my maternity leave. It is about designing a pattern/shape by using Euclidean Reality Software. We were asked to download the software from => www.e-journal of education.com. Then design the pattern/shape that we want and prepare questions according to student's ability (Must Do, Should Do and Could Do).

Here I draw a pattern of Square Pyramid. This is in the Year 7 syllabus, Topic: Measurement.


Figure 1


Figure 1 shows a square pyramid. AB is 10cm and its slant height,VX is 13cm.

Questions:

1. Must Do

2. Should Do
Calculate the height, VM of the pyramid.

3. Could Do
What is the volume of the pyramid?
