Mon 19th March & Mon 26th March – More examples of 3d Shapes and Their Nets, Plus a look at the relationship between edges, faces and sides

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To discover the link between edges faces and sides, learn some names of Solid objects and build some more 3D objects

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to name and spell correctly the names of 3D shapes, be able to describe the connection between edges, faces and sides and also be able to build a 3D shape from its net

KEYWORDS: Cube, Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Dodecahedron, Icosahedron

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY:
The Platonic Solids

LESSON: Look at shapes and then Copy and complete this table. This web site might be useful

Help students find the relationship between faces edges and vertices.

Get students to complete making their tetrahedrons from last week. When finished they can choose from Octahedron, Dodecahedron and icosahedrons to build

PLENARY: Look at all shapes built

Mon 12th March – 3d shapes and their nets

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Discover what the net of a 3D object is and make a cube from its net

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to recognise the net of a cube some of you will aslso be able to recognise the net of a TETRAHEDRON

KEYWORDS: NET, CUBE, TETRAHEDRON

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Come and write the name of any 3d object you know on the white board

LESSON: Discuss objects listed on the IWB, this might be useful

Use the first two screens on this lesson to introduce nets of cubes

Hand out nets of cubes, glue and scissors – students to make their own cube.

EXTENSION: Make a tetrahedron

Mon 5th March – Revision – Coordinates, Number sequences, Frequency Tables and bar charts

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To revisit Coordinates, Number Sequences, Frequency Tables, Bar charts.

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to answers all the questions on the Maths test this week

STARTER:
Draw a tally chart for the different colours of smarties in the picture you have been given.

LESSON:

Task 1:Reminder on How to draw a bar chart

LABELS, AXES, GAPS

Draw a bar chart from your Smartie Frequency Table

 
 

Draw a coordinate grade that goes up to 10 in both the x and Y direction. Use two of your little squares for every count of 1

TASK2: Plot these points on a coordinate grid:

(3,5), (6,-2), (4, -7), (-9,4), (-2,5), (0,7), (6,0), (9,9), (-4,-4)

Draw a four sided shape on your grid and list the coordinates of the corners of your shape.

TASK3: Write down the rule and the next 5 numbers of these sequences

  1. 4, 7, 10, 13, 16
  2. 101, 97, 93, 89, 85
  3. 1½, 4, 6½, 9, 11½
  4. 5, 6, 8, 11, 15

Can you write down the first 8 numbers in these sequences

  1. Starting number is 5, rule is +6
  2. Starting number is 85 and rule is -3
  3. First two numbers are both 1, the rule is add the previous two numbers together

PLENARY: Quick check with students on their confidence with the three revision topics.
