Geometric thinking resources

Students identify axes of symmetry on several shapes and which shape has no axis of symmetry.

Students identify which transformation has been used to map one shape onto another.

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

Students choose which transformation is being used to continue a pattern.

Students are required to draw in arrows to show the parallel lines on three given shapes. They then draw in a right-angle symbol to show the perpendicular lines on three other given shapes.

Using a diagram of a regular hexagon, students calculate its interior and exterior angles.

Students calculate the interior and exterior angles of a regular octagon and explain their calculations.

In this practical task, students use their understanding of the link between capacity and volume to make cardboard containers that hold 250ml and 500ml of water.

Students identify the order of rotational symmetry for a number of shapes.

Students enlarge shapes by whole number scale factors.

Students draw reflections of shapes in given mirror lines.

Students solve probelms about a reflection and time.

Students predict nets that fold to make a cube, then cut out and fold the nets to check their prediction.

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

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 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.
