Thinking 3D
Age 7 to 14
How can we as teachers begin to introduce 3D ideas to young children? Where do they start? How can we lay the foundations for a later enthusiasm for working in three dimensions?
Platonic Planet
Age 14 to 16 Challenge Level:
Glarsynost lives on a planet whose shape is that of a perfect regular dodecahedron. Can you describe the shortest journey she can make to ensure that she will see every part of the planet?
Auditorium Steps
Age 7 to 14 Challenge Level:
What is the shape of wrapping paper that you would need to completely wrap this model?
The Spider and the Fly
Age 14 to 16 Challenge Level:
A spider is sitting in the middle of one of the smallest walls in a room and a fly is resting beside the window. What is the shortest distance the spider would have to crawl to catch the fly?
Cutting a Cube
Age 11 to 14 Challenge Level:
A half-cube is cut into two pieces by a plane through the long diagonal and at right angles to it. Can you draw a net of these pieces? Are they identical?
Rhombicubocts
Age 11 to 14 Challenge Level:
Each of these solids is made up with 3 squares and a triangle around each vertex. Each has a total of 18 square faces and 8 faces that are equilateral triangles. How many faces, edges and vertices. . . .
Which Face?
Age 14 to 16 Short Challenge Level:
Which faces are opposite each other when this net is folded into a cube?
Cubic Conundrum
Age 7 to 16 Challenge Level:
Which of the following cubes can be made from these nets?
Air Nets
Age 7 to 18 Challenge Level:
Can you visualise whether these nets fold up into 3D shapes? Watch the videos each time to see if you were correct.
Cubic Net
Age 14 to 18 Challenge Level:
This is an interactive net of a Rubik's cube. Twists of the 3D cube become mixes of the squares on the 2D net. Have a play and see how many scrambles you can undo!
Chopped Dice
Age 14 to 16 Challenge Level:
Can you make a new type of fair die with 14 faces by shaving the corners off a cube?
All Is Number
Age 7 to 14
Read all about Pythagoras' mathematical discoveries in this article written for students.
Cool as Ice
Age 11 to 16 Challenge Level:
Design and construct a prototype intercooler which will satisfy agreed quality control constraints.
Tet-trouble
Age 14 to 16 Challenge Level:
Is it possible to have a tetrahedron whose six edges have lengths 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 units?
Make Your Own Pencil Case
Age 11 to 14 Challenge Level:
What shape would fit your pens and pencils best? How can you make it?
Witch's Hat
Age 11 to 16 Challenge Level:
What shapes should Elly cut out to make a witch's hat? How can she make a taller hat?
