Learning goals
- We are learning to create, recognise, compare and classify three-dimensional objects using key features.
- We are learning to connect 3-dimensional objects with their nets and build objects from their nets.
- We are learning to connect three-dimensional objects with their nets and other two-dimensional representations in images.
- We are learning to compare the parallel cross-sections of objects and recognise their relationships to prisms.
- We are learning to construct simple prisms and pyramids.
