Geometric thinking resources

Students solve probelms about a reflection and time.

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

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 identify grid references on a movie theatre seating plan.

Students use grid references to locate places on a map of Auckland and give grid references of specified places.

In this practical task, students draw pictures of 3-dimensional prisms onto a square grid. A net for each prism is provided.

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.

Students draw reflections of a number of words.

Students use a quadrilateral key to answer questions about attributes of quadrilaterals.

This task requires students to indicate the invariant properties of four transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement).

Students work out area, length and angles of a shape after enlargement.

Students draw lines on shapes to show how they have been constructed from four smaller shapes.

From a drawing of a 3-dimensional shape, students draw five different 2-dimensional views of it onto grids.

Students select the correct name for angle diagrams (e.g. obtuse etc.) and write the names of three angles identified in a shape.

Students draw lines on shapes to show how they have been constructed from four smaller shapes.

Students draw cross-sections of different buildings.

Students identify equilateral, isosceles, scalene and right angled triangles.

Students draw cross-sections of different foods.

Students answer questions about the journey of an ant along the edge of a tetrahedron.

Students draw five different views of a 3-dimensional cube model.

Students identify the types of triangles made by everyday objects.

In this practical task, students work in small groups to present a dance based on geometric concepts.
