The Year 3 Geometry program develops skills in visualisation with a focus on dimension and angles.
The concepts in Year 3 Geometry are aligned with the course content in the Measurement and Geometry strand of the Australian curriculum. Students studying Geometry in Year 3 name and compare 3D objects and 2D shapes, such as trapezia, rhombuses, rectangles, pyramids and prisms. Additional concepts include naming, drawing and estimating angles and their properties and using grid references to locate positions on a map.
This learning program is made up of the following 3 topics, broken down into 21 concepts.
Determine the number of pairs of parallel sides, if any, of each of the special quadrilaterals
Compare the rigidity of two-dimensional frames of three sides with the rigidity of those of four or more sides
Identify the variety of nets that can be used to create a particular prism
Explain why any line through the centre of (and across) a circle is a line of symmetry
Identify and draw lines of symmetry on given regular and irregular shapes
Deconstruct everyday packages that are prisms to create nets
Identify and describe two-dimensional shapes as either regular or irregular
Identify, compare and describe quadrilaterals
Identify and describe cubes and prisms
Identify and describe pyramids
Identify parallel lines in pictures and the environment
Identify and describe spheres, cones and cylinders
Identify right angles in two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects
Identify angles, including arms and vertex of an angle
Identify perpendicular lines in pictures, designs and the environment
Use the term right angle to describe the angle formed when perpendicular lines meet
Draw simple maps and plans from an aerial view, with or without labelling a grid
Use and follow positional and directional language
Describe the location of an object using more than one descriptor
Draw and label a grid on a given map
Use grid references on maps to describe position, identifying and marking locations
