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: Connect three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional representations
- Identify features of prisms and pyramids (faces, vertices and edges) and cylinders (curved/flat surfaces and boundaries) from images
- Create sketches of rectangular prisms and pyramids, showing depth
- Create sketches of three-dimensional objects from different views, including top, front and side views (Reasons about spatial relations)
- Draw different views on isometric grids of an object constructed from connecting cubes
- Interpret given drawings to make models of three-dimensional objects using connecting cubes (Reasons about spatial visualisation)
Volume: Use scaled instruments to measure and compare capacities (internal volumes)
- Recognise the need for a formal unit smaller than the litre to measure capacity (internal volume)
- Use a scaled instrument to relate 1000 millilitres to one litre
- Relate benchmark values to familiar everyday containers
- Calibrate a container by marking 100 mL increments to measure capacity (internal volume) to the nearest 100 mL
- Record capacity (internal volume) using the abbreviation for millilitres (mL) and litres (L)
- Compare and order the capacities (internal volumes) of 2 or more containers measured in millilitres
- Estimate the capacity (internal volume) of a container to common benchmark values, such as 250 mL, and check by measuring
