Drawing the plan and elevations of a solid

Maths

In the prior unit, pupils considered different views of a 3-D shape in order to understand how to calculate the surface area and volume. In this unit, pupils will be considering a 3-D shape from different viewpoints in order to draw the side and front elevations as well as the plan.

Plans and elevations

The diagram shows a cuboid drawn on centimetre isometric paper. Which figure shows the plan of the cuboid? 

The diagram shows a cuboid drawn on centimetre isometric paper. Which figure shows the side elevation of the cuboid?

The diagram shows a solid constructed from cubes. Which figure shows the front elevation of the solid?

The diagram shows a solid constructed from cubes. Which figure shows the side elevation of the solid?

The diagram shows a solid constructed from cubes. Which figure shows the plan of the solid?

A {{}} is a shape that has three dimensions (e.g. width, height and depth).

The image shows a photograph and an isometric drawing of a pencil sharpener. The value of $$b$$ is {{ }}.

The image shows a solid that is constructed with two congruent cuboids and an isometric drawing of the solid. The value of $$b$$ is {{ }}.

The image shows a solid that is constructed with two congruent cuboids and an isometric drawing of the solid. The value of $$c$$ is {{ }}.

Which isometric drawing shows a cuboid with lengths 2 units, 4 units and 5 units?

The image shows four isometric drawings of cuboids. Which cuboids have at least one square face?
