3-dimensional shapes resources

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

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 match pictures of 2- and 3-dimensional shapes with their correct names.

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.

Students calculate the volume of 3-dimensional shapes made up from cubes.

Students give the number of vertices, straight lines, and curved lines and complete sentences to describe different 3-dimensional shapes.

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

This practical task requires students to draw various 3-dimensional shapes onto isometric paper from different viewpoints.

Students match three dimensional shapes with nets that could be folded to make them.

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.

Students use a diagram of, and information about a measuring cup (a cone) to calculate and answer questions about volume.

Students calculate the volume of blocks in a cylinder, the cylinder and the space around the blocks.

In this practical task, students construct 3-dimensional shapes from nets (provided), and then draw them on a grid.

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.

Students identify the 2-dimensional shape that cross-sectional slices of food make.

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