Fun With Divergent Thinking Shapes
Play with shapes on the computer and imagine what the shapes look like from different perspectives and angles. Take out a laptop or tablet. Go to the Divergent Thinking page:
Then advance through each shape below, zooming in and out, and rotating the shapes, writing down as many ideas of what the shapes look like from different angles:

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Take your time to explore and experiment using this app. Imagine as many things as possible from the different angles of one moving shape.
- Cycle through several shapes and record the most unique objects you see in The Daily Doodle using the Shapes In Time & Space worksheets for all eight shapes. Find at least 3 unique perspectives for at least 3 shapes of your choosing. Or do them all!
- Share the most unique objects you saw while spinning the shapes.
- Think about how you can connect what you just experimented with in the divergent thinking program to what we discussed in the warm up.
- Imagine and draw one object that exists in your world from several different angles or perspectives using An Object From My World worksheet in The Daily Doodle.
- If there’s time, create the object in TinkerCAD.
