3-dimensional shapes resources

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 task requires students to draw the cross-sections of three differently shaped 3-dimensional containers.

Students draw cross-sections of 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.

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

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

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

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

Students draw in three 3-dimensional shapes on a grid from the view shown.

This task requires students to identify the shape name, the number of faces, edges and vertices of a selection of everyday objects.

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

For this NEMP task students calculate the amount of pipe length and the minimum number of corners needed to make a cube-shaped frame with 1 metre edges.

Students write down the name of the shape of the 3-dimensional blocks that are used for each part on a diagram of a model train.

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

Students select what 3-dimensional shape will be made from each of two nets.

For this NEMP task student draw the cross section indicated on 6 different food items.

Students predict which 3-dimensional shapes nets will make and then fold nets to identify the shapes.

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.

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

In this practical task students predict what the widthwise and lengthwise cross-sections of a selection of fruit and vegetables would look like.

Students match 3-dimensional shapes shown from different angles.
