Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

Could look at models you have prepared in advance, to help them visualise what is possible when working in 3D; could use 2D shape templates, cut from card, to draw around (plastic 2D shapes tend to be too small for this activity); could progress from folding and curving the card to make it more rigid, to making a 3D structure using three pieces of card, joined together using simple slots. 

Pupils working at greater depth

Could explore their own ideas for joining pieces and for increasing the stability of structures; could progress to thinking about the overall look of their 3D structure – could they make it more interesting by adding to it or by cutting irregular shapes in the card?
