3-D shapes (age 9+)
Identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations
Suggested ages 9–10
Learning journey
Your child is learning to measure and work with angles using protractors, classify shapes by their properties, and understand transformations like reflections and translations while exploring how angles relate to each other.
Evidence of understanding
- Identify a cuboid from its net
- Name the 3-D shape shown in an isometric drawing
- Match 2-D representations to the correct 3-D shape
Assessment prompt
If you show 3-D shapes (age 9+) a flat architect's sketch of a box or a pyramid, can they tell you the name of the 3-D shape it represents?
