Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support calculating volume of 3D shapes by counting cubic units. Shapes are one row deep, consisting of single cubic units.
Expected Questions to support calculating volume of 3D shapes by counting cubic units. Shapes are up to four rows deep with the highest and widest rows at the back of the shape, consisting of single cubic units.
Greater Depth Questions to support calculating volume of 3D shapes by counting cubic units and applying knowledge of symmetry. Shapes are up to four rows deep with the highest and widest rows varying in placement. Shapes may also consist of cubic units 2cm3, 3cm3, or 5cm3.
Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain whether a given statement is correct. Shapes are one row deep consisting of single cubic units.
Expected Explain whether a given statement is correct. Shapes up to four rows deep, highest and widest rows at the back of the shape, consisting of single cubic units.
Greater Depth Explain whether a given statement is correct. Shapes are up to four rows deep with the highest and widest rows varying in placement. Shapes may also consist of cubic units 2cm3, 3cm3, or 5cm3.
Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Given a limited number of cubes, decide which 3D shape could be created. Shapes are one row deep consisting of single cubic units.
Expected Given a limited number of cubes, decide which combination of 3D shapes could be created. Shapes up to four rows deep, highest and widest rows at the back of the shape, consisting of single cubic units.
Greater Depth Given a limited volume, decide which combination of 3D shapes could be created. Shapes are up to five rows deep with the highest and widest rows varying in placement. Shapes may also consist of cubic units 2cm3, 3cm3, or 5cm3.
Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain why a shape is the odd one out. Shapes are one row deep.
Expected Explain why a shape is the odd one out. Shapes are up to four rows deep with the highest and widest rows at the back of the shape.
Greater Depth Explain why a shape is the odd one out. Shapes are up to five rows deep with the highest and widest rows varying in placement.
