This worksheet teaches students to see the familiar shapes and 3D objects that make up pictures, buildings and models, and to count cubes and hidden shapes in designs. The worksheet is split into warm-up questions, standard questions and then extension questions to test you.
The concepts it covers:
- A composite shape is made by joining familiar shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, circles.
- Composite objects are made from familiar objects: cubes, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, pyramids.
- Many real things can be approximated (shown roughly) using familiar shapes and objects.
- A shape can often be split into familiar shapes in more than one way.
What your child will practise:
- Naming the shapes that make a composite picture.
- Matching real objects to familiar 3D objects.
- Counting the cubes in a model.
- Splitting a composite shape in different ways.
- Counting shapes hidden inside a design.
Every section opens with a worked example, and the download includes a full answer key with step-by-step solutions and teaching notes on the mistakes students most commonly make.
