Exploring Cross Section and Surface of Revolution Intuitively

Math Teachers:

In this resource, we'll learn how to use GeoGebra's Freehand Shape tool Toolbar Image to quickly sketch (to the best of our ability) a cross section of the pottery bowl shown below. We'll then spin this sketch fully about the xAxis to create a 3D surface of revolution. After this, we'll open this construction within GeoGebra 3D app on our phones and explore our construction (both cross section AND surface) in Augmented Reality.
[size=150]Here, we will sketch a cross section of this bowl and rotate it fully about the xAxis.  [/size]

HOW TO DO IT (in less than 12 minutes)

Here is what the graph in the video looks like.

TO EXPLORE THE RESOURCE ABOVE IN AUGMENTED REALITY:

1) Open up GeoGebra 3D app on your device. 2) Press on the 3 horizontal bars (upper left). Select OPEN or SEARCH. 3) In the search bar, type aavgbgnt Note these characters are the last 8 characters in the URL to this resource. 4) Get the cross section and bowl in a good view (zoom out if you need to). 5) Press the AR button (lower right) and go from there!
