Outcomes
MA1-3DS-01 recognises, describes and represents familiar three-dimensional objectsMA1-3DS-02 measures, records, compares and estimates internal volumes (capacities) and volumes using uniform informal unitsContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
3D objects: Describe the features of three-dimensional objects
- Describe three-dimensional objects (prisms) using the terms ‘ face ’, ‘ edge ’ and ‘ vertex ’
- Represent three-dimensional objects by making simple models
- Recognise and name flat surfaces of three-dimensional objects as two-dimensional shapes
Volume: Compare containers based on internal volume (capacity) by filling and packing
- Make and use a device for measuring internal volume (capacity) calibrated in uniform informal units
- Compare, order and record the internal volumes (capacities) of two or more containers by measuring each container in uniform informal units
- Estimate internal volume (capacity) by referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used
Volume: Compare volumes using uniform informal units
- Estimate the volumes of two or more models and check by counting the number of blocks used in each model
- Compare models with different appearances, recognising when they have the same volume (Reasons about spatial structure)
- Record the results of volume comparisons using drawings, numerals and words, referring to the units used
- Explain that models made of the same number of units may have different volumes depending on the size of the units used (Reasons about spatial relations)
