1. Urban Designs
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To develop spatial awareness through thinking and reasoning about direction, distance, and location
Sample Success Criteria
- I can create a map as a visual representation of places
- I can locate various places on a map using the coordinate system
- I can describe routes to take when getting from one place to another
- I can explain my solution using a variety of manipulatives
2. Architectural Designs
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To explore the connection between three-dimensional objects and their two-dimensional representations
Sample Success Criteria
- I can visualise three-dimensional objects from different perspectives
- I can visualise three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional patterns
- I can visualise two-dimensional patterns that can be made from three-dimensional objects
- I can represent patterns using manipulatives such as pattern blocks and cubes
3. Exterior Designs
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To investigate symmetry in shapes to create designs
Sample Success Criteria
- I can identify line and rotational symmetry
- I can apply my understanding of line and rotational symmetry to create designs
- I can demonstrate my understanding using a variety of manipulatives and concrete resources
4. Interior Designs
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To solve problems involving shapes, through the application of geometric transformation
Sample Success Criteria
- I can describe the results of different transformations on shapes
- I can create visual patterns by transformation
- I can model and explain the visual patterns resulting from transformation using a variety of manipulative tools
5. Interpreting Designs
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To explore how visualisation and spatial reasoning can help us to solve problems
Sample Success Criteria
- I can visualise shapes mentally and explain reasons for my thinking
- I can predict the effects of transformation on shapes
- I can anticipate and describe the symmetrical shape that will be produced when one part is known
- I can demonstrate and justify my solutions using a variety of manipulatives
