![]() Te reo Māori vocabulary terms such as āhua ahu-toru (three-dimensional shape), āhua ahu-rua (two-dimensional shape), mata (face of a solid figure), akitu (vertex), tapa (edge, side), and the names of different shapes could be introduced in this unit and used throughout other mathematical learning. Your students might investigate the use of polyhedra in the real world through contexts such as playground equipment such as domes, shapes of crystals, construction of buildings such as wharenui, sculptures, and terrariums. This could range from cultural motifs to favourite colours, patterns or images. For example, students could be given the opportunity to decorate a model of their favourite polyhedra solid in a style of their choosing for a class display. This unit is focussed on the construction of specific geometric shapes and as such is not set in a real world context. There are ways that it could be adapted to appeal to the interests and experiences of your students. restricting the number of models that students are asked to make, beginning with simpler solids such as cuboids and square based pyramids. ![]()
