Outcomes
MA2-3DS-01 makes and sketches models and nets of three-dimensional objects including prisms and pyramidsMA2-3DS-02 estimates, measures and compares capacities (internal volumes) using litres, millilitres and volumes using cubic centimetresContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
3D objects: Make models of three-dimensional objects to compare and describe key features
- Identify the differences between prisms (including cubes), pyramids and cylinders
- Construct models of prisms, pyramids and cylinders using physical or virtual manipulatives, identifying their features
- Deconstruct everyday packages that are prisms (including cubes) to create nets
- Investigate the variety of nets that can be used to create a particular prism
Volume: Measure and order containers using litres
- Recognise the need for formal units to measure capacity (internal volume) accurately
- Use the litre as a unit to measure capacities (internal volumes) to the nearest litre
- Relate the litre to familiar everyday containers
- Recognise that one-litre containers can be a variety of shapes (Reasons about spatial structure)
- Record capacities (internal volumes) using the abbreviation for litres (L)
- Estimate the capacity (internal volume) of a container in litres and check by measuring
Volume: Compare objects using familiar metric units of volume
- Construct rectangular prisms using cubic-centimetre blocks and describe the volumes in terms of layers
- Record volumes using numerals and words
- Compare the volumes of 2 or more objects made from cubic-centimetre blocks
