Shape resources

Students identify which nets, from a range of options, could fold to make rectangular prisms.

Students identify which shapes are identical to a given shape that have been rotated.

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

For this NEMP task students match 3D objects and their nets.

Students draw top and side views of five different 3-dimensional objects.

Students count the number of faces on various 3-dimensional shapes.

Students draw the bird's-eye view of each of three buildings that are pictured.

In this practical task, students use drawings to identify the number of multi-link cubes needed to construct 3-dimensional shapes. They then construct the objects.

In this practical task, students use drawings to identify the number of multi-link cubes needed to construct 3-dimensional pieces of furniture. They then construct the pieces.

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

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

Students use a net of a cube to identify opposite faces and what the cube would look like when constructed.

Students identify the number of visible faces on 3-dimensional cube models.

Students identify shapes after they have been rotated in 3 dimensions.

Students drag and drop to sort 2-dimensional shapes into three categories based on the number of sides, curved sides, or corners the shape has.

Students identify the 2-dimensional shapes on a robot's body.

In this practical task, students use different colours to identify a variety of 2-dimensional shapes in a stained glass window pattern.

Students use trigonometry to find missing distances in three everyday problems.

Students are required to use trigonometry to calculate the length of one side of a right-angled triangle in three problems based on a ski lift, a toy sail boat and a penguin on an iceberg.

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

Students compare the area of two different triangles.

In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard cube to hold a tennis ball. They then cut out and construct the cube.

In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard box to hold 3 "chocolate bars" represented by hundreds blocks. They then cut out and construct the box.

Students write short paragraphs using geometrical terms to describe two pictures. The terms equilateral, scalene, and isosceles are to be used to describe a castle. The words circumference, diameter, and radius are to be used to describe a bicycle.

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