Step 8 Objective
Visualise and use 2-D representations of 3-D objects; analyse 3-D shapes through 2-D projections, including plans and elevations.
- Examples of what pupils should
know and be able to do - Probing questions
- What if pupils find
this a barrier?
What if pupils find this a barrier?
Ask pupils to use interlocking cubes to make shapes which have been drawn on isometric paper.
Teach pupils how to draw rectilinear 3-D shapes using isometric paper.
Use digital cameras to show different views of objects. Challenge pupils to describe or build the 3-D shapes represented.
Use a 3-D dynamic geometry program to explore properties and 2-D representations of different 3-D shapes.
