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

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 draw reflections of a number of words.

Students complete pictures by drawing in the other side of a mirror line.

Students identify shapes with given shape properties.

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

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

Students identify shapes that have one or more right angles.

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

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 draw cross-sections of different buildings.

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

Students identify the number of faces, edges and vertices for different 3-dimensional shapes.

Students identify the types of triangles made by everyday objects.

Students draw reflections of shapes in given mirror lines.

Students draw lines of symmetry on everyday objects.

Students identify which of the three transformations (rotation, reflection, translation) were not used to create repeating koru patterns.

Students use their knowledge of angle properties to identify missing angles identified on a street map.

Students categorise 3-dimensional objects into cubes, cuboids (rectangular prisms), cylinders, cones, spheres, and pyramids.

Students draw reflections of three shapes in mirror lines.

Students use Pythagoras' theorem to find the unknown sides of right-angled triangles in three practical problems.

Students use Pythagoras' theorem to decide whether triangles are right-angled based on the lengths of their sides.

Students identify the parts of a circle that lines on familiar signs and objects make.

Students identify nets that can fold to make a cube and explain how they know.
