In this practical task, students use models of 3-dimensional shapes to complete a chart showing the number of faces, corners, and edges for each object.
Students design school library badges by creating four symmetrical patterns using 2-dimensional shapes. A display board template is included for students to put their work on.
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.
Students draw diagrams to demonstrate their understanding of three angle properties: angles at a point, adjacent angles on a straight line and vertically opposite angles.
Task: Describe and compare some physical properties of plastic objects and identify the properties scientists might use for classifying materials. Assessment focus: classifying using physical properties.
Students use their knowledge of angle properties of parallel lines and angles on a straight line to identify similar angles and to calculate the sum of three angles giving appropriate explanations.
Students calculate the size of marked angles using their knowledge of angle properties: the angle between a tangent and a radius, the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of angles in a quadrilateral.
Task: Match everyday terms about properties with their meanings. Use their understanding about properties of paper and their uses to justify appropriate questions to investigate. Assessment focus: asking questions about paper properties.
This task requires students to indicate, in a table, the invariant properties of four transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement) of a picture of a traffic light.
