Elaboration on this Achievement Objective

This means students will focus on key characteristics of 3-dimensional models (shape and relationship of faces and surfaces, faces joining at edges and vertices) to create 2-dimensional drawings of those models. Drawings of objects can take the form of isometric projections, plan views or nets. Students should also be able to construct a model from given 2-dimensional drawings, for example build a model using interlocking cubes from the plan views below.

Students should be able to create nets for simple polyhedral and closed surfaces by visualising the “unwrapping” of those solids, for example the net for a cube.

Level Four

Integrated

Units of Work

This unit seeks to connect learning outcomes across all five content strands, number, geometry, statistics, and measurement. However the context lends itself strongly to use of measurement and statistics.

  • Construct nets.
  • Measure masses, capacities, lengths, and temperatures using scales and devices.
  • Conduct investigations and present results.
  • Carry out experiments and systematically record the results.

Units of Work

This unit provides a set of learning tasks that integrate across the strands of the Mathematics and Statistics learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum and provide opportunities for assessment of student achievement across those strands. Each session may involve more than one lesson, especially...

Session One
Use systematic approaches to find all the possible outcomes, e.g. tree diagrams, organised lists.

Session Two
Use tables, graphs, and word rules to represent growing patterns.

Session Three
Draw cube models using plan views.

Session Four
