Forms drawn on graph paper

 I am not concerned about where on the paper you draw each object.

I am concerned that you use a ruler and count out the squares closely so that your shape matches mine. Label the objects like I labeled them.

If you need a video explaining how to make each form please watch. I don't care whether you use the counting on the video or the counting on the drawing below, but please use one of them. 

• Draw all 3 different ellipses
• Draw the 5 different Forms
• Look around your room/home and draw one object that combines two or more forms on one axis line. I have drawn a marker that combines a 2 cylinders, a sphere and a cone.

Here is a file with graph paper on it. You may print out the graph paper if you don't have graph paper at home. graph paper.pdf Download graph paper.pdf
