Stage 1

Three-dimensional spatial structure A
3D objects: Recognise familiar three-dimensional objects
  • Use the term ‘three-dimensional’ to describe a range of Loading 

  • Distinguish between objects, which are three-dimensional (3D) and Loading  which are Loading 

  • Identify and name familiar three-dimensional objects, including Loading , Loading , spheres and Loading  prisms

3D objects: Sort and describe three-dimensional objects
  • Manipulate and describe familiar three-dimensional objects

  • Use the term ‘Loading ' in describing familiar three-dimensional objects

  • Sort familiar three-dimensional objects according to obvious features

  • Use the term ‘Loading ’ to describe the flat surfaces of three-dimensional objects with straight Loading 

  • Select and name a familiar three-dimensional object from a description of its features

Volume: Measure and compare the internal volumes (capacities) of containers by filling
  • Use Loading  informal units to measure how much a Loading  will hold by counting the number of times a smaller container can be filled and emptied into the container being measured

  • Select appropriate informal units to measure the Loading  of containers

  • Recognise and explain the relationship between the size of a unit and the number of units needed (Reasons about relations)

  • Compare the Loading  of two or more containers using appropriate uniform informal units

  • Recognise and explain why containers of different shapes may have the same internal volume (Reasons about relations)

  • Estimate how much a container holds by referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used and check by measuring

Volume: Measure the internal volume (capacity) of containers by packing
  • Pack Loading  units (eg blocks) into rectangular containers so that there are no gaps

  • Recognise that cubes pack better than other objects in rectangular containers (Reasons about spatial structure)

  • Estimate and measure the internal volume of a container by filling the container with Loading  informal units and counting the number of units used

  • Explain that if there are gaps when packing and stacking, this will affect the Loading  of measuring the internal volume

Volume: Construct volumes using cubes
  • Explore different rectangular prisms that can be made from a given number of cubes

  • Devise and explain strategies for stacking and counting units to form a rectangular prism (Reasons about spatial structure)

  • Record Loading , referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used
