Part A: Working out and filling in
1. 9 squares
From the front, each column shows only its tallest stack. Find how tall each column's tallest stack is first.
Each column across shows only its tallest stack: 5 + 3 + 1 = 9.
2. 6 squares
From above, a stack shows as one square however tall it is. Count the places with cubes in the back row and in the front row.
Each place with cubes shows one square, however tall: 3 at the back, 3 at the front, 6 in all.
Part B: Choose, or true or false
3. D
Write down each stack's height first. From the front, of the two stacks in each column you see only the taller one.
From the front, each column across shows only its tallest stack: 4, 3 and 1 high, left to right.
4. False
From the right, each row shows only its tallest stack. Find the tallest in the front row and in the back row, then compare with 7.
From the right, the front row's tallest is 3 and the back row's 3: 3 + 3 = 6.
5. D
Seen from the right, the front row is on the left and the back row on the right. Find how tall each row's tallest stack is first.
From the right, the front row is on the left and the back row on the right: the front row is 2 high at most, the back row 4.
6. B
From above, height doesn't matter: only which places have cubes. Check each place in the front and back rows.
From above, every place with cubes shows one square: 3 in the back row, 1 in the front.
7. True
From the right, each row shows only its tallest stack. Find the tallest in the front row and in the back row, then compare with 4.
From the right, the front row's tallest is 2 and the back row's 2: 2 + 2 = 4.
8. True
From the right, each row shows only its tallest stack. Find the tallest in the front row and in the back row, then compare with 9.
From the right, the front row's tallest is 4 and the back row's 5: 4 + 5 = 9.
9. True
From the right, each row shows only its tallest stack. Find the tallest in the front row and in the back row, then compare with 6.
From the right, the front row's tallest is 2 and the back row's 4: 2 + 4 = 6.
10. True
From the right, each row shows only its tallest stack. Find the tallest in the front row and in the back row, then compare with 5.
From the right, the front row's tallest is 2 and the back row's 3: 2 + 3 = 5.
Part C: Word problems
Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.
11. 12 blocks
From above there is only one row, so no block is hidden. What does each stack's height tell you?
From above there is only one row, so nothing is hidden: each stack's height is its count, 6 + 1 + 5 = 12.
12. B
The photo is the front view. Each column shows only the taller of its two stacks: write down each column's height first.
From right in front, each column across shows only its tallest stack: 5, 3 and 2 high, left to right.
13. 7 stickers
The stickers match the squares seen from the front. Each column shows only its tallest stack: find those heights first.
From the front, each column across shows only its tallest stack: 3 + 3 + 1 = 7 squares.
14. 5 squares
The painted squares are the ones seen from above. A stack shows one square however tall: count the places with blocks.
Each place with blocks shows one square from above: 3 at the back, 2 at the front, 5 in all.
15. 20 boxes
For the most boxes, how tall can the front and back stacks in each column be? Neither can be taller than the front view shows: 1, 4, 5.
Each column's front and back stacks can be as tall as the front view at most: 2 × (1 + 4 + 5) = 2 × 10 = 20.
16. 11 blocks
From above there is only one row, so no block is hidden. What does each stack's height tell you?
From above there is only one row, so nothing is hidden: each stack's height is its count, 4 + 1 + 6 = 11.
