L.O. To be able to draw the plan, front and side
views of a 3D shape.
Must: Know what the plan, front and side elevation

Should: Be able to recognise which is the plan, front
and side elevation.
Could: Be able to draw plan, front and side elevations.

4. Shape sorter
A solid is made from cubes. By turning the shape it can be posted through each of these three holes:
Provide pupils with interlocking cubes and ask them to make a shape that could be rotated to fit through all three holes. Is there more than one possibility?
Can you describe what this shape will look like?
Can you build this shape using interlocking cubes?

5. Shape sorter
A solid is made from cubes. By turning the shape it can posted through each of these three holes:
Here is a picture of the shape that will fit:
Here is one possibility; a few variations are possible (by moving the cube at bottom left).

6. Plans and elevations A solid can be drawn from various view points:
2 cm
7 cm
Plan view
2 cm
3 cm
2 cm
Side elevation
3 cm
3 cm
7 cm
Front elevation
7 cm
Define the plan view as the view of a solid from directly above. In this example the plan view is a 2 cm by 7 cm rectangle.
Define the front elevation as the view of the solid from directly in front. In this example the front elevation is a 3 cm by 7 cm rectangle.
Define the side elevation as the view of the solid from the side. In this example the side elevation is a 3 cm by 2 cm rectangle.

7. Choose the shape Front elevation: Side elevation: Plan view: A: A: B:
Ask pupils to choose the shape that corresponds to the three views given.

8. Choose the shape Front elevation: Side elevation: Plan view: A: B: C:
Ask pupils to choose the shape that corresponds to the three views given.

9. Choose the shape Front elevation: Side elevation: Plan view: A: A: B:
Ask pupils to choose the shape that corresponds to the three views given.

10. Choose the shape Front elevation: Side elevation: Plan view: A: B: B:
Ask pupils to choose the shape that corresponds to the three views given.
