Examine ways that cubes can be composed into different arrangements
I can explore, discuss and compare the different arrangements that can be made with cubes.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Know that cubes can be arranged in different ways.
- Recognise when arrangements are the same, even when they have been rotated.
- Explain how to change one arrangement into another by moving some of the cubes.
Common misconception
Might not recognise that an arrangement is still the same when it has been rotated.
Allow plenty of opportunities for building, rotating and comparing arrangements of cubes, and to view them from different perspectives.
Keywords
Cube - A 3D shape with six identical faces.
Arrangement - The way something is organised.
Pupils should be given plenty of opportunities, both within and outside of this lesson, to explore making arrangements of cubes. They should be encouraged to rotate their arrangements and describe how they look from different perspectives.
