Outcomes
MA3-3DS-01 visualises, sketches and constructs three-dimensional objects, including prisms and pyramids, making connections to two-dimensional representationsMA3-3DS-02 selects and uses the appropriate unit to estimate, measure and calculate volumes and capacitiesContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
3D objects: Compare, describe and name prisms and pyramids
- Compare properties of prisms and pyramids 1 resource · 1 interactive/game
- Name prisms and pyramids according to the shape of their base 1 resource
3D objects: Connect three-dimensional objects with two-dimensional representations
- Visualise and sketch three-dimensional objects from different views, including top, front and side views (Reasons about spatial orientation) 2 resources · 1 interactive/game
- Examine a diagram to determine whether it is or is not the net of a closed 3-dimensional object 1 resource
- Visualise and sketch nets for given three-dimensional objects
- Visualise and name prisms and pyramids, given representations of their nets (Reasons about spatial visualisation) 1 resource · 1 interactive/game
Volume: Choose appropriate units of measurement for capacity
Volume: Use displacement to investigate volumes of irregular solids
- Recognise that an object’s volume takes up space by observing the change in water level when an object is placed in a container of water
- Compare the volumes of 2 or more objects by marking the change in water level when each is submerged in a container
Volume: Connect decimal representations to the metric system
- Recognise the equivalence of whole-number and decimal representations of measurements of capacities
- Interpret decimal notation for capacities
- Record measurements to 3 decimal places
