A slide presentation (a poem) introducing using trigonometry (including Pythagoras' Theorem) to find lengths and angles on three dimensional shapes.
Colour in the remaining faces of the nets of the cubes to match the rotating three-dimensional picture.
This is a simple interactive that does nothing more than allow you to create 3D drawings of models made with cubes.
Visualise the cubes formed by the nets and paint the three faces meeting at a vertex.
Apply formulae for the volumes and surface areas of cylinders to answer a wide variety of questions
Drag the numbers onto the net so that when it is folded to form a cube numbers on opposite faces add up to prime numbers.
Draw two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional objects on an isometric dotty grid.
Drag the nets into the corresponding panels to show whether they would fold to form a cube.
Pupils are not allowed to use their hands to point but must describe fully any shapes they can see in this picture.
Calculate the lengths of sides and the size of angles in three dimensional shapes.
Use formulae to solve problems involving the volumes of cuboids, cones, pyramids, prisms and composite solids.
Find the cuboids with integer side lengths where the volume is numerically equal to the surface area.
A game to determine the mathematical item by asking questions that can only be answered yes or no.
