3D Shapes and Prisms

Students learn about 3D shapes and prisms using their cross section, faces, vertices and number of edges.  More able students are challenged to sketch the solids using perspective drawings.  Less able students learn how to describe a shape using its special features.At the start of the lesson students learn about prisms and how to spot a cross section.  In the main part they go on to count the number of faces, vertices and edges different solids can have.  The end of the lesson challenges students to imagine how the properties of a cube have changed when two of its vertices are removed.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to name and describe the properties of a 3D shape.
  • Most students should be able to understand the key features of a prism and describe a 3D shape using its geometrical properties.
  • Some students should be able to identify a 3D shape using its geometrical features.

Sharing an Amount to a Given Ratio

July 9, 2018

There are three common methods for sharing an amount to a given ratio.  Depending on the age group and ability range I am teaching I would choose one approach over the other two. The three methods are: Using fractions Unitary method Using a table In this blog I will demonstrate each of the three methods […]

Plotting Scatter Graphs and Understanding Correlation

July 4, 2018

To introduce plotting scatter graphs and understanding correlation I ask students to think about the relationships between different variables and to describe how they might be related. Here’s my starter activity which students discuss in pairs then present to me on mini-whiteboards. When the students have had time to discuss the matching pairs we talk […]

Plotting Quadratic Graphs on Cartesian Axes

June 29, 2018

In recent examiner reports it is noted how important it is for students to understand the properties of a parabola  when plotting quadratic graphs on Cartesian axes.  Students who have a secure understanding of parabolas can use them to correct miscalculated values in their table of results and are more likely to attain full marks […]
