In this learning resource, students are tasked with translating their 3D desk environment into a 2D map, emphasizing the challenge of representing height and depth on a flat surface. The activity is split into two parts: the first requires students to create a sketch of their desk from a bird's eye view, focusing on the visible shapes. The second part encourages reflection on the limitations of a 2D representation, asking students to consider how height cannot be conveyed and what challenges arise in depicting three-dimensional objects on paper. This exercise aims to enhance spatial awareness and understanding of dimensionality in mapping.
