Additional Practice Questions

Draw the top, side, and front views of a chair from your classroom.

medium

Answer: The top view will show the top of the seat, sides of the chair if visible, and possibly the backrest top edge is visible. The side view will show one side of the chair, displaying the legs, the side of the seat, and the backrest. The front view will show two front chair legs, part of the seating area, and the lower front of the backrest.

Design and draw a simple object using match sticks and explain the different views.

easy

Answer: Design a model, such as a small house. The top view might show the roof layout, the side view could reveal the walls and roof slope, and the front view presents the doorway and windows.

In a classroom map, mark and label your desk position, teacher's desk, and the door.

easy

Answer: Using the classroom's arrangement, use a grid to mark 'D' for the desk, 'T' for the teacher's desk near the blackboard, 'Door' for the entry. Counts between objects define their placement.

Create a grid and place objects at different corners; describe how to navigate from one object to another.

medium

Answer: Place an eraser at the top left corner, a pencil at the bottom right. Navigate by moving three steps to the right and two steps down.

What would be the shortest path to reach the library from the classroom? Describe the path.

hard

Answer: To reach the library, exit the classroom and proceed down the hallway, taking the first turn right. Continue straight until you encounter the library entrance.
