Drawing a Cube: Examining Attributes

In this video tutorial, participants at the Shape Workshop learn how to draw and construct a cube by examining its attributes. The lesson begins with a review of 3D shapes and their characteristics, followed by an explanation of what attributes are, using food groups as examples. The specific attributes of a cube, such as having 12 edges, 6 faces, and 8 vertices, are discussed. The tutorial then guides viewers through the process of constructing a cube using pieces of wood, ensuring that all attributes are correctly represented. By the end of the lesson, viewers will have a clear understanding of how to identify and construct a cube based on its attributes.
