EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A set of 13 task cards challenging students to arrange cubes to match the designs shown. Designed for middle and upper years students. Laminate for a long-lasting resource.

Learning Objectives:

Visualise and build shapes using cubes.
Understand the concept of hidden blocks and how to account for them.
Develop spatial awareness and counting skills.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with task cards featuring different block arrangements. They use cubes to construct the shape shown on the card, considering both visible and hidden blocks. After building the shape, they count the total number of cubes used. This activity encourages critical thinking as students need to figure out how many cubes are required and assess if their construction matches the shape accurately.
