Exercise 3

There are three ways

• Type of surface – flat or curved
• The number of faces and edges
- The edge of a 3D object is where the faces meet.
• The size of angles
- If an object has faces with only right angles then it will be a cube
or a rectangular prism.
1. Draw objects or shapes in each of the following categories:
a. Objects with a curved surface

b. Objects with flat and curved surfaces

c. Objects with flat and curved surfaces

2. Comparing cubes and rectangular prisms
All 3D structures can be folded into flat templates known as a net.

Name Number of faces

a. square faces and
rectangular faces
b. square faces and
rectangular faces
c. Square faces and
rectangular faces

3. Write the letters of the shapes which have a. Curved surface only
b. a flat and curved surface c. A flat surface only

4. How many faces are there in each shape? Draw each face and
colour them in.
5. Look at the cube and rectangular prism below:

Not all the faces of a rectangular prism are the same.

All the faces of a cube are exactly the same.

Exercise 5
Pyramids

In which African country do we

find pyramids?

This is a Tetrahedron (triangular based

pyramid)
It has four flat triangular faces.
Tetra is the Greek word for 4.
Hedron is the Greek word for face.

They are many kinds of pyramids.

Pyramids are named by the shape at the base of the pyramid.

1. Match each pyramid with the correct set of faces. Write the name
and matching letter.

Week ending 19-07-2020 Marks
Exercise 7
Making patterns

This is a Size 9 by 7 border pattern. It means that the pattern is 9 blue

triangles high and 7 blue triangles wide.
1. How many blue triangles, how many black triangles, and how many
triangles are there in total in the border pattern above? Describe and
discuss your method.

It takes too long to count in ones!

Mary first writes down her calculation plan before actually calculating
it:
No. of blue triangles = 2 × 9 + 2 × 7 = 18 + 14 = 32
No. of black triangles = 2 × 8 + 2 × 6 = 16 + 12 = 28 Total
no. of triangles = 32 + 28 = 60

2. Calculate the number of blue, the number of black and the total
number of triangles in these border patterns of different sizes:
(a) 12 by 10 (b) 15 by 10 (c) 20 by 15

If you can fold a diagram in half so that two parts match exactly, the fold line is
called a line of symmetry.
