http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/shape_space/3d_shapes/play/
Ask your teacher to check your work on 3D objects. Look at
the table where you drew examples of 3D objects. Choose
2 objects to describe to your teacher. Use those deadly
maths words again:
The name of the object
How many faces it has
How many edges it has
Don’t forget to keep track of your learning! Go back and
tick ‘Describe and draw 3D shapes’. Use the Drawing Objects

Drawing Objects to Scale
Now that you know all about 2D shapes and 3D shapes you
can draw a diagram of an everyday object accurately. You can
draw an object to scale. This just means you are drawing the
object very accurately.
We cannot always draw on paper the actual size of real-life
objects. For example, we cannot draw the real size of a car on
a sheet of paper. We need a scale drawing to represent the
real size of a car.
Read more about scale drawings here. Look at this example of
a scale drawing of a horse.
http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/scale-drawing.html
This video shows us how to draw pictures to scale. After
clicking ‘Play’ click on the ‘Next button until you reach the part
of the video called ‘Map Scales’.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/maths/number/ratio/activity.shtml
Now we are going to practice drawing objects to scale. The
easiest way to do this is with isometric dot paper. You can do
the following activities online. If you prefer, you can print the dot
paper and complete the activities with pencil and paper.
14
Brisbane Youth Education & Training Centre 2013 v1.0
Use this website to create your scale drawings:
http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=125
Or print some isometric dot paper here:
http://lrt.ednet.ns.ca/PD/BLM/pdf_files/dot_paper/iso_dot_1cm.pdf
First, we will do a 1D drawing. That means the drawing just has
one dimension – length. We will draw this line to scale.
Real length: 10 cm
We can make the scale 1cm:2cm. That means every 1 cm we
draw represents 2 cm of the original line.
To work out how long the drawing needs to be then divide the
length of the original drawing by 2. So, 10 divided by 2 = 5.
The line you draw needs to be 5cm long. The original line is
shown here, 10 cm long.
Draw your scale drawing on the website or on the isometric dot
paper you printed. The line will be 5cm long, or cross 5 dots.
Paste a copy here:
Show your teacher your first scale drawing! Well done!
15
Width 4 cm
Now let’s try a 2D drawing.
Length 6 cm
Let’s make the scale 1cm:2cm again. That means every 1cm
you draw represents 2cm of the original rectangle.
To find the new length and width you need to divide the original
length and width by 2.
Work out the length of the new rectangle.
My sum
________ divided by 2= ________
New length = _______cm
Work out the width of the new rectangle.
My sum
_________ divided by 2 = ________
New width = _______cm
Now go ahead and draw your rectangle. Draw your scale
drawing on the website or on the isometric dot paper you
printed. Paste a copy here:
Excellent work! Ask
your teacher to check
your calculations and
your drawing.
16
Brisbane Youth Education & Training Centre 2013 v1.0
Drawing a Tissue Box
Now let’s try and draw a real life object to scale.
Length:
Width:
Height:
20cm
10cm
10cm
Ask your teacher for a real
tissue box. This will help you
describe and draw it.
First, describe the tissue box to your teacher using
mathematical language. What type of 3D shape is it? How
many faces does it have?. Show your teacher the edges and
the vertices. What is the length, width and height of the box?
Now let’s think about how to draw it.
Let’s make the scale 1cm:2cm again. That means every 1cm
you draw represents 2cm of the original tissue box.
To find the new length, width and height you need to divide the
original length, width and height by 2.
Work out the length of the new tissue box.
My sum
________ divided by 2= ________
New length = _______cm
Work out the width of the new tissue box.
My sum
_________ divided by 2 = ________
New width = _______cm
17
Work out the height of the new tissue box.
My sum
_________ divided by 2 = ________
New height = _______cm
Draw your scale drawing on the website or on the isometric dot
paper you printed. Paste a copy here:
Wow! Ask your teacher to check your
calculations and your scale drawing. Explain
to your teacher how you calculated the
length, width and height for your scale
drawing.
18
Brisbane Youth Education & Training Centre 2013 v1.0
Drawing Dice
Let’s try one last drawing.
The dimensions of a dice:
Length 2cm
Width
2cm
Height
2cm
Ask your teacher for real
dice. This will help you
describe and draw it.
First, describe the dice to your teacher using mathematical
language. What type of 3D shape is it? How many faces does it
have?. Show your teacher the edges and the vertices. What is
the length, width and height of the dice?
Now let’s think about how to draw it.
Let’s make the scale 1cm:2cm again. That means every 1cm
you draw represents 2cm of the original dice.
To find the new length, width and height you need to divide the
original length, width and height by 2.
Work out the length of the new dice.
My sum
________ divided by 2= ________
New length = _______cm
Work out the width of the new dice.
My sum
_________ divided by 2 = ________
New width = _______cm
19
Work out the height of the new dice.
My sum
_________ divided by 2 = ________
New height = _______cm
Draw your scale drawing on the website or on the isometric dot
paper you printed. Paste your drawing here:
Ask your teacher to come and check your
calculations and your scale drawings. Explain
to your teacher how you calculated the length,
width and height of your scale drawing.
You are amazing! Scale drawing is not easy but now you are
an expert. Well done!
Don’t forget to keep track of your learning! Go back and
tick ‘Describe and draw 2 objects to scale’. Use the Nets
bookmark to start working again!

Brisbane Youth Education & Training Centre 2013 v1.0
Nets
Some 3D shapes can be folded out to a flat shape to show all
the faces. This flat shape is called a net.
Take this quick quiz to match the net with the 3D shape it
makes.

I made a ___________________________ . It has
_________faces. It has ________edges and _______vertices.
I also made a ___________________________ . It has
_________faces. It has ________edges and _______vertices.
Fabulous! Ask your teacher to check your 3D shapes. Choose 1
shape to describe to your teacher. Use those new maths words
you have learnt – faces, edges, vertices. And the name of the
shape of course!
Don’t forget to keep track of your learning! Go back and tick ‘Construct

Maps
We often need to use maps in our everyday life.
To find and locate objects on a map we can use co –ordinates.
When using co-ordinates we always state the x-axis first and
then the y-axis. The x-axis is horizontal
and the y-axis is
vertical .
