Note to Pupils:
Methods Of Shape Construction
- Folding: Folding involves creating shapes by bending a flat material, such as paper, along specific lines or edges to form geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles, or even more complex shapes like cylinders and cones.
- Bending: Bending entails reshaping materials like cardboard or metal into new forms by curving or flexing them, objects like boxes, cylinders, or funnels can be made through bending.
- Casting: Casting involves making a mold and then pouring a liquid or molten material (like melted wax or metal) into the mold to create a specific shape. This method can be introduced in a simplified way for basic understanding.
- Cutting and Assembling: Cutting out shapes from materials like paper or cardboard and then assembling them together is another method. It allows to create complex shapes and objects by combining simpler components.
- Modeling: Modeling involves shaping pliable materials like clay or playdough by hand to create various forms and shapes.
Evaluation:
- What are some methods of shape construction we discussed today?
- Can you give an example of an object you can create by folding?
- Can you give an example of an object you can create by bending?
