Unit description and duration
Unit description and duration
This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills with 2D shapes, 3D objects, volume, and internal volume (capacity). Students are provided opportunities to:
name, describe and represent 2D shapes
explore familiar 3D objects by sorting, stacking, describing, and making representations
recognise that flat surfaces of 3D objects can be named as 2D shapes
measure and compare volume of various 3D objects
measure and compare internal volume (capacity) of various 3D objects.
Student prior learning
Student prior learning
Before engaging in these teaching and learning activities, students would benefit from prior experience with:
identifying specific features which give 2D shapes their name
sorting, describing, and naming familiar 2D shapes, including circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles
manipulating, exploring, sorting, and making 3D objects
using informal vocabulary to describe and name various shapes and objects.
