Scott Makes a Robot

In this book Millie the Mathematician helps us learn to recognise and identify three-dimensional (3D) objects. As Scott builds a robot from common, every-day items, we learn the characteristic features of different 3D objects and identify them by the number of faces, edges and corners they have. We also learn that 3D objects differ from 2D shapes by having ‘depth’ as well as length and breadth. This book addresses content from the Measurement and Geometry strand within the Shape sub-strand. The specific Australian Curriculum content descriptor addressed is: “Describe the features of three-dimensional objects.”
