Page 2: 2D Representations of 3D Shapes

This page explores how three-dimensional objects can be represented in two dimensions through various techniques.

Vocabulary: A net is a flat pattern that can be folded to create a 3D shape.

Definition: Plans and elevations are 2D views of 3D objects from different perspectives - top (plan), front (front elevation), and side (side elevation).

Example: A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices when represented in 3D.

Page 3: Properties of Polygons

This page details the characteristics and properties of various polygons.

Definition: A square has four equal sides, four right angles, and four lines of symmetry.

Highlight: Each polygon type has unique properties regarding side lengths, angles, parallel sides, and symmetry.

Example: A rhombus has four equal sides and diagonally opposite angles are equal, with two lines of symmetry.

View

Page 4: Circle Geometry

This page covers circle-related concepts and calculations.

Vocabulary: Pi (π) is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14.

Definition: A circle is the locus of points equidistant from a central point.

Example: For a circle with radius 5cm, the area would be π×5² = 78.5cm².

View

Page 5: Surface Area

This page focuses on surface area calculations for three-dimensional shapes.

Example: The total surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula 2πr² + πdh.

View

Page 6: Volume

This page explains volume calculations for various 3D shapes.

Definition: Volume is the measure of space inside a solid shape, measured in cubic units.

Highlight: The volume of any prism can be calculated by multiplying the area of the cross-section by the length.

Example: For a cuboid with length 6cm, width 5cm, and height 3cm, the volume is 90cm³.

Page 1: Perimeter and Area Fundamentals

This page introduces fundamental concepts of perimeter and area calculations for various geometric shapes.

Definition: Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape, measured in linear units like mm, cm, or m.

Definition: Area represents the amount of space inside a shape, measured in square units like mm², cm², or m².

Example: For a rectangle with length 8cm and width 5cm, the perimeter would be 26cm (8+5+8+5) and the area would be 40cm² (8×5).

Highlight: The area of a trapezium is calculated using the formula (a+b)×h÷2, where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the height.
