Elaborations
- • Elaboration locating aircraft/drones using latitude, longitude and altitude as a three-dimensional coordinate system
- • Elaboration constructing three-dimensional objects using 3D printers or designing software that uses a three-dimensional coordinate system
- • Elaboration comparing and contrasting two-dimensional and three-dimensional coordinate systems by highlighting what is the same and what is different, including virtual maps versus street views
- • Elaboration using dynamic geometry software to construct shapes and objects within the first octant of a three-dimensional coordinate system
- • Elaboration interpreting three-dimensional coordinate locations for objects in multi-storey car parks; playing games based on three-dimensional coordinate systems such as three-dimensional Noughts and Crosses (Tic-Tac-Toe)
- • Elaboration exploring position and transformation through geospatial technologies used by First Nations Australians’ communities
