Summary
Students will explore three dimensional objects using a range of materials. They will describe and compare objects. They will learn the difference between two and three dimensions and discover how 3d objects are represented in 2d.
Duration
Sample term 2 weeks Detail: 4 hours a week
Unit overview
*Identify, name and describe shapes *Make models and representations *compare 2d representations to 3d objects *investigate and make nets *consider different views of the same object
Outcomes
Mathematics K-10
Assessment overview
Y2 Use ipad to take photos of 3d objects sorted into groups. Explain how the shapes were sorted by describing them. Y3 Make a model of a 3d object. Take a photo to label and annotate the features. Repeat for another shape. Then compare what is the same and different about the shapes (oral, written, visual)

relate the terms 'two-dimensional' and 'three-dimensional' to their use in everyday situations, eg a photograph is two-dimensional and a sculpture is threedimensional (Communicating, Reasoning)
LESSON 6 Look at photographs of 3d objects. Match the solid object to the photograph. Use ipads to take photos of 3d objects. Using line tool trace edges. Can all the edges be seen in a 2d image of a 3d object? Y3: Choose a box and cut along the edges to find each face. Draw the faces needed to make the shape. Use sticky tape to join the edges together. Fold up the net to make the object Make objects from nets
relate the terms 'two-dimensional' and 'three-dimensional' to their use in everyday situations, eg a photograph is two-dimensional and a sculpture is threedimensional (Communicating, Reasoning)
recognise that a net requires each face to be connected to at least one other face (Reasoning)
