3-dimensional shapes resources

Students calculate the surface area and volume of a pyramid.

Students match 3-dimensional shapes shown from different angles.

For this practical task students draw on isometric paper different views of a model they have constructed.

Students use isometric paper to complete drawings of 3-dimensional shapes.

Students use isometric paper to draw an isometric view of a 3-dimensional cubes model.

Students identify the viewpoint from which an isometric drawing of a plan of blocks has been drawn and then make their own isometric drawing from a different viewpoint.

Students draw 3-dimensional block shapes onto isometric paper from 2-dimensional plans.

Students identify the number of visible faces on 3-dimensional cube models.

Students identify the number of faces for different 3-dimensional cube models.

Students predict which 3-dimensional shapes nets will make and then fold nets to identify the shapes.

Students identify which nets, from a range of options, could fold to make rectangular prisms.

Students identify which nets can be folded to make an open box shape.

Students construct 3-dimensional shapes from plasticine and predict what the cross-section will be prior to cutting it.

Students observe and draw 4 views of 3-dimensional objects in relation to each other and use these drawings to predict the top view of the same objects.

This practical task requires students to construct a model based on a diagram of a similar model. They then draw their model onto isometric paper.

This task requires students to circle a corner, an edge, and a face on three different shapes. Students then count how many corners, edges, and faces each shape has altogether.

This task requires students to draw the cross-sections of three differently shaped 3-dimensional containers.

Students draw cross-sections of different 3-dimensional objects.

Students draw top and side views of five different 3-dimensional objects.

Without looking, and by feeling a range of 3-dimensional objects, students describe physical features of each object.

Students identify which net, when folded, would look like the 3-dimensional shape shown.

Students identify the cross-sections of various pieces of fruit will look like when they are sliced.

In this practical task, students make specified 3-dimensional shapes, and then sort them into two groups according to criteria that the student defines.

Students identify the 2-dimensional shape that cross-sectional slices of food make.

In this practical task students construct 3-dimensional shapes from modelling clay then cut them in half and draw their cross-sections.
