MSS2/L2.1
MSS2/L2.1 Recognise and name a range of mathematical 2-D representations of 3-D objects, e.g. in maps and plans
(a) Know the accepted conventions for representing 3-D objects, e.g. contour lines, representation of a cuboid
Three challenging Functional skills questions to get learners to draw 2D representations of 3D objects using a given scale. The questions are based on an exam question from an Edexcel L2 paper last year that learners found difficult.

Editor’s note
Wonderful open ended project. Ideal for E3-L2 mixed ability groups.
Graduated activity for E2-L2 mixed ability groups. Involves recognising and sketching and drawing nets; constructing a chosen 3D shape; and (for L1 -2 only) calculating volume and surface area. With detailed adult numeracy and Functional Maths mapping information.
The tutor will need some pre-prepared nets – suggested web links are included.
A great set of resources for all levels from E1-L2. Includes information and worksheets, card / matching games and an IT drawing exercise.
Functional skills mapping and minor corrections made – August 2011.
