3. 3D Problems What do students find difficult about 3D trigonometry? How do you help students gain an understanding of 3D trigonometry? (The) study found a relationship between young children s construction skills and strong number sense and success in solving mathematical word problems (Nath & Sz cs, 2014) Children are as nonresponsive to short term explicit instruction on spatial transformation tasks as adults. (Ehrlich, Levine & Goldin-Meadow, 2006)

7. 1. Show that |AC|= 1.95m, correct to two decimal places. 2. The angle of elevation of B from C is 50 (i.e. | BCA| = 50 ). Show that |AB| = 2.3 m, correct to one decimal place. 3. Find |BC|, correct to the nearest metre. A glass Roof Lantern in the shape of a pyramid has a rectangular base CDEF and its apex is at B as shown. The vertical height of the pyramid is |AB|, where A is the point of intersection of the diagonals of the base as shown in the diagram. Also |CD| = 2.5m and |CF| = 3m
