Drawing and Constructing

Here are four cubes joined together. How many other arrangements of four cubes can you find? Can you draw them on dotty paper?

Here are the six faces of a cube - in no particular order. Here are three views of the cube. Can you deduce where the faces are in relation to each other and record them on the net of this cube?

What is the greatest number of counters you can place on the grid below without four of them lying at the corners of a square?

Here are some pictures of 3D shapes made from cubes. Can you make these shapes yourself?

How much do you have to turn these dials by in order to unlock the safes?

Can you describe the journey to each of the six places on these maps? How would you turn at each junction?

Use the information on these cards to draw the shape that is being described.

Let's say you can only use two different lengths - 2 units and 4 units. Using just these 2 lengths as the edges how many different cuboids can you make?

You have been given three shapes made out of sponge: a sphere, a cylinder and a cone. Your challenge is to find out how to cut them to make different shapes for printing.

Each of the nets of nine solid shapes has been cut into two pieces. Can you see which pieces go together?
