Solution to Activity 2: Shape Construction Challenge
Task: Build a toy model using three shapes, describe the arrangement, and identify
edge types.
Sample Solution:
• Shapes used: Cube, Cylinder, Cone
• Describe your model: I placed the cube on the ground as the base, the cylinder
on top of the cube as the body, and the cone on top of the cylinder as a hat,
making a toy robot.
• Edges: The cube has straight edges, the cylinder has curved edges, and the
cone has one curved edge.
