To use properties of 3D solids

Continuing our learning in shapes and solids for one final week. There are many online activities you could use to extend your learning.

Revise your understanding of Platonic solids and their Schlegel graphs. [|Platonic Tools] Interesting (simple) reference guide to solids [|3D Solids]

[|Cuboid Surface Area] Brainteaser- which of these shadows were created from cubes? [|Cube Shadow]
 * Monday**- Investigating the connection between surface area and the volume of a solid. How dependent are the 2 measures on each other?

This little interactive is good for revising calculations of volumes of cuboids [|Volume of Cuboids]

Think carefully about how you can represent your solution. Click the link below to open some isometric paper- this may be helpful. Google Sketch-up may also be useful when representing your solutions. Colours will help the viewer understand your solution too.
 * Tuesday**- Using our understanding of 2D shapes to understand more about 3D solids.




 * THE BEST ENTRIES WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE WIKI AND THE WALLS OF M1.**
