3-D nets


Last week Rm 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes. It was really fun, we learnt we had to be good at certain things to make it work. And is wasn't all fun all fun and games, it was actually quite hard. We will show you how we made them.

First choose a shape, For instance, why don't we make a pyramid. First get a piece of paper and find the exact middle of the paper and put a small dot. Then draw a 6 by 6 square (making sure the dot stays in the middle) Next draw a 6cm triangle on each edge of the square. Finally you can draw the tabs on the opposite of each triangle. Now you can glue or cellotape the tabs to the shape.

Well, that's how you make a pyramid.
On our journey we learnt the names of shapes, vertices's, edges and faces. At home you could even make your own. We learnt we had to good at measuring.

Nets and 3-D shapes


last week room 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes it was really fun making it .We all made a house or a building Nick made some mini stand up people .


At the start of the term most of us could not make a 3-D shape we had to learn to measure the parts of the shape and we had to draw them out and put tabs on the shapes . Most of us put on too much cellotape.
