Learning Intention: Outcome(s) Content:

Students are learning to make, compare, sketch and name three dimensional objects including Makes, compares,
prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres and describing their features sketches, names three
dimensional objects,
Success criteria: including prisms,
- Students can identify and name three–dimensional objects as prisms (including cubes), pyramids, cylinders,
pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres. cones and spheres,
- Students can describe and compare curved surfaces of cylinders, cones and spheres, and describing their features
faces, edges and vertices of prisms (including cubes) and pyramids MA2-14MG
 Identify and name three-dimensional objects as
prisms (including cubes), pyramids, cylinders,
cones and spheres
 Describe and compare curved surfaces of
cylinders, cones and spheres, and faces, edges
and vertices of prisms (including cubes) and
pyramids

Students pass around 3D objects,
- Faces – represents the flat surfaces/parts of a 3D object that you can run touching, exploring and identifying
your hand up/across (demonstrate on the IWB). faces, edges and vertices.

- Vertices – where the object comes to a point (show example on the IWB).
Vertex refers to one point and vertices is multiple.

- Edges – where any two flat surfaces (faces) meet on the 3D object
(demonstrate on IWB).

What is a prism? What are pyramids?

A prism is a solid object with:
- Identical ends
- Flat faces
- Same cross section all along its length
A pyramid is solid object where
- The base is a polygon (a straight sided flat shape)
- The sides are triangles which meet at the top (the apex)
 Discuss with students the names of the 3D objects being passed around the class and
discuss the number of edges, vertices and faces with them.

Differentiation: Summative Evaluation

Working towards – may use wooden or plastic 3D objects from Maths resources Students were engaged and found the activity a good way to identify 3D objects
Working beyond – encouraged to complete task without the assistance of 3D objects within the classroom
Teaching notes
Ensure students know what the task requires them to do
