represent and approximate composite shapes and objects in the environment, using combinations of familiar shapes and objects

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• identifying common shapes that form part of a composite shape by re-creating these shapes using physical or virtual materials
• physically or virtually using cubes to make three-dimensional models that approximate real objects; for example, building a virtual environment by using a computer software program to construct objects out of cubes
• approximating complex shapes and objects in the environment with familiar shapes and objects; for example, drawing cartoon animals by combining familiar shapes
