Sort, describe and name familiar three-dimensional objects in the environment (ACMMG009)
• describe the features of familiar three-dimensional objects, such as local landmarks including Aboriginal landmarks, using everyday language, eg flat, round, curved
* describe the difference between three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional shapes using everyday language (Communicating)
Sort 2D shapes and 3D objects – Starter Activity Part 2
• sort three-dimensional objects and explain the attributes used to sort them, eg colour, size, shape, function
* recognise how a group of objects has been sorted, eg 'These objects are all pointy'
(Communicating, Reasoning)
Sort 3D Object – choose how to sort

OUTCOMES
A student:
› describes mathematical situations using everyday language, actions, materials and informal recordings MAe-1WM
› uses concrete materials and/or pictorial representations to support conclusions MAe-3WM
› manipulates, sorts and represents three-dimensional objects and describes them using everyday language MAe-14MG
Three Dimensional Space
• recognise and use informal names for three-dimensional objects, eg box, ball
Match Objects
Describing 3D Objects – 3D 1:01 (press Play)
Find the 3D Objects
• manipulate and describe a variety of objects found in the environment
* manipulate and describe an object hidden from view using everyday language,
eg describe an object hidden in a 'mystery bag' (Communicating)
Hidden 3D objects
Buried 3D objects
• predict and describe the movement of objects, eg 'This will roll because it is round'
* use a plank or board to determine which objects roll and which objects slide (Problem
Solving)
• make models using a variety of three-dimensional objects and describe the models, eg 'I made a model of a person using a ball and some blocks'
* predict the building and stacking capabilities of various three-dimensional objects (Reasoning)
