What shapes are each of the 7 faces? This is an octagon-based pyramid How many faces does an octagon-based pyramid have? In this unit you will create 2D drawings of 3D shapes. This is an essential skill in art, design and architecture. What 2D and 3D shapes can you find in this picture? > 6.1 Nets of cubes and drawing 3D shapes Cubes and open cubes are important for design and technology. Where do you see things designed with cubes? 70 of 209 Wiener 6.1 Nets of cubes and drawing 3D shapes Draw this cube on isometric poper. 3B Step 1: Step 2: - * oS . Step 3: 7 .

Trace this square to use as a template for each face of your cube. errata a How do you know if a net will make a cube? DET * count the faces? * visualise the net folding up? * compare it to nets of cubes you already knov 6.1 Nets of cubes and drawing 3D shapes 5 The diagram shows what Sofia can see when she looks at two different 3D shapes. Think about what parts of a 3D shape you can see and what parts you cannot see. What two shapes could they be? Explain how you know they could be those shapes. © Sketch each of the shapes in a different orientation. Label each shape with its name. 6 Find a triangular prism. Put the triangular prism on a flat surface and look at it from one position. Draw the triangular prism from your position. a How many triangles can be seen in your picture? b How many rectangles can be seen in your picture? 7 Draw these models on isometric paper. a b Compare the pictures you ha eet Recerca meta Cnn Cen Cres Peet Me Oka eed 6 3D shapes 8 Make cuboid b,c, or d shown in question 7 using cubes. Tun the cuboid so that it sits on a different face. Draw the cuboid in its new position on isometric paper. Ra nae) The net of a cube has been cut into these two pieces. Imagine the two pieces were stuck together with sticky tape. Draw two sets of nets that can be Lo made by the two pieces stuck together. One set is the nets that can be folded to make a cube. The other set is the nets that cannot be folded to make a cube. Example: Nets that will make a cube with Nets that will not make a cube the two pieces with the two pieces Test your nets by copying them onto squared paper. Cut out and fold the nets to see if they are in the correct set. * You are specialising when you choose and test a net to see if it will make a cube. + You are classifying when you put each net into a set. eaten 6.1 Nets of cubes and drawing 3D shapes Check your progress 1 Draw a net of an open cube. 2.
