Description
Take patterns beyond the flat page and explore how mathematical structure appears in three dimensions.
In Lesson 6 of Patterns Everywhere, learners investigate 3D shapes, repeated structures and the ways solids can fit together in space. The lesson develops ideas from earlier work on symmetry, repetition and tessellation, but now in a three-dimensional setting.
Learners explore familiar solids, think about how surfaces and faces are arranged, and look at how repeated 3D forms can create larger structures and packing patterns.
This printable resource accompanies the free online lesson and brings the key ideas and activities together in one booklet.
