Interpreting plans and elevations
MA29-02
This lesson is coming soon.
In this lesson
Read off the plan view and front/side elevations of a 3D solid, correctly including the internal lines that show where two faces meet.
What it covers
- Reading/interpreting the plan view of a given solid
- Reading/interpreting the front and side elevations of a given solid
- The internal-line convention: drawing a line where two faces of the solid meet at a visible edge, even when the outline alone looks complete
- Using a stepped or L-shaped solid so the internal-line case is unavoidable

For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches interpreting plans and elevations. By the end, students should be able to read off the plan view and front/side elevations of a 3D solid, correctly including the internal lines that show where two faces meet. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
