2D AND 3D SHAPES


2D AND 3D SHAPES


SHAPES: 

The shape can be defined as the boundary or outline of an object. In general, we can see shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles everywhere around us. Thus shapes have only lenght and breadth are 2D or two-dimensional. while other shapes such as the shape of a house have length, breadth and height. Thus shapes are 3D or three-dimensional.




2D SHAPES: 

                         A 2D shapes has two dimensions lenght and breadth.

examples: Rectangle, Square, Circle, Triangle.


3D SHAPES:

                       A 2D shapes has three dimensions lenght, breadth and height.

examples: Cuboid, Cube, Cylinder, Sphere.



See the above image the 1st one is circle and it is in 2D shape and the 2nd one is sphere and it is in 3D shape.


Here are some 2d and 3d shapes


Differences between 2D and 3D shapes

You (or the children in your class) might be wondering about the differences between 2D and 3D shapes. This is a really good question, since it can be confusing to understand what dimensions are and what they mean.

If an object has three dimensions, there are 3 ways it can be measured in space. You can measure the length, breadth and height of 3D objects.

So, unlike 2D shapes, 3D shapes aren't flat – they have depth. 

But the most important thing for children to remember is that the main difference between shapes in 2D and 3D is their dimensions. 2D shapes have two dimensions and 3D shapes – yes, you guessed it, they have 3 dimensions.

Fibonacci Sequence

Image
  Fibonacci Sequence The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it: the 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1), the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2), the 5 is (2+3), and so on! Example: the next number in the sequence above is 21+34 =   55 It is that simple! Here is a longer list: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, ... Makes A Spiral When we make squares with those widths, we get a nice spiral: Do you see how the squares fit neatly together? For example 5 and 8 make 13, 8 and 13 make 21, and so on. This spiral is found in nature! See:  Nature, The Golden Ratio, and Fibonacci The Rule The Fibonacci Sequence can be written as a "Rule" (see  Sequences and Series ). First, the terms are numbered from 0 onwards like this: n = 0 1 2 3

VEDIC MATHEMATICS

VEDIC MATHEMATICS VEDIC MATHEMATICS IS THE TRICKS FOR FAST CALCULATIONS   ·         Vedic Mathematics  is a collection of Techniques/Sutras to solve mathematical arithmetics in easy and faster way. It consists of 16 Sutras (Formulae) and 13 sub-sutras (Sub Formulae) which can be used for problems involved in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, conics. ·         Vedic Mathematics is a system of mathematics which was discovered by Indian mathematician  Jagadguru Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji  in the period between A.D. 1911 and 1918 and published his findings in a  Vedic Mathematics Book by  Tirthaji Maharaj ·         Veda is a Sanskrit word which means ‘Knowledge’. ·         Using regular mathematical steps, solving problems sometimes are complex and time consuming. But using Vedic Mathematic’s General Techniques (applicable to all sets of given data) and Specific Techniques (applicable to specific sets of given data), numerical calculations can be done very fast.
