3D ILLUSION CUBES

We have been working on creating maths shapes, which can appear several different ways depending on how you look at them.

This is how you can make one of these 3D illusion cubes:

1.Trace the hexagon and use a pencil and ruler to connect the opposite corners

2.Make a dot 5cm from the outside on each line.

3.Connect these dots to make a smaller hexagon

4.Erase every second line of the smaller hexagon

5.Erase every opposite second line of the bigger hexagon

6.Colour opposite sides to match:  using three colours:  a tint, your main colour, and a shade. 

Here are some examples of illusion cubes from a range of angles.

We will put these instructions on our blog, if you want to make one of these for yourself.
