Model construction resources

Students build a rectangular prism and identify some of the interior right-angled triangles.

Students build a triangular prism and identify some of the interior right-angled triangles.

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

Using multi-link cubes students construct and explore a growing sequence of step models, then they apply this information to continue the pattern without the cubes.

Using multi-link cubes students investigate the number of faces visible in a sequence of step models, then they use this information to continue and record the pattern in a table.

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 practical task requires students to construct a model, using blocks, from drawings of five different view points of that model.

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

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

In this practical task students use straws to construct skeleton models of 3-dimensional shapes from given drawings.

In this practical task, students first construct a 3-dimensional object from a drawing, then draw five different 2-dimensional views of it on a grid.

Given five views of the same 3-dimensional shape, students use multi-link cubes to construct it.

In this practical task, students cut out triangles and rectangles to make three different nets for a triangular prism.

In this task students continue a triangular shape pattern with sticks to explore the rule used in the pattern. Students then use their understanding of the pattern rule to continue the pattern without the sticks.

In this practical task, students construct pyramid patterns using triangles. They then predict how many triangles would be needed for the next size pyramid and explain their rule.

In this practical task, students use three different views of a 3-dimensional shape to help them design a net and construct a model of a pyramid.

In this task students build the next two models of a spatial sequential pattern and then use their results to predict subsequent patterns and give general rules for these in words and in equations.

Students draw two wires to complete a simple circuit diagram from a battery to a bulb so that it shines.

In this practical task students make four different 3-dimensional objects.

Students use a given number of multi-link cubes to build two buildings with different heights.

For this practical task, students construct 2 different towers from multi-link blocks, then draw these shapes from 3 different views.

In this practical task, students construct 3-dimensional shapes from nets (provided), and then draw them on a grid.

Students use sticks to copy and continue a given spatial pattern, and identify the number of sticks needed to make a new shape in the pattern.

In this practical task students use multi-link cubes to construct two 3-dimensional models from pictures of each model from two different viewpoints.

In this practical task, students use multi-link cubes to construct two 3-dimensional models from pictures of each model from two different viewpoints.
