Note
Many students will need more 
practice drawing 3-D objects than 
Math Focus 5
provides.

MATHEMATICS 5 CURRICULUM GUIDE 2015
Specific Outcomes
2-D AND 3-D GEOMETRY
Suggestions for Teaching and Learning
Students will be expected to:
Shape and Space (3-D Objects and 2-D Shapes)
5SS5 Continued...
Achievement Indicators:
5SS5.8 Provide examples from the 
environment that show parallel, 
intersecting, perpendicular, 
vertical and horizontal line 
segments.
Provide students with magazines, newspapers, photographs, artwork and 
pre-selected Internet sites and ask them to find parallel, intersecting, 
perpendicular, and vertical and horizontal lines. Using a chart with each 
of the concepts as headings may simplify the recording of findings.
Teams of students might also take part in a geometry scavenger hunt 
to find examples of each type of line, segment, or side. This could be 
a checklist requiring a description, sketch or a digital capture of the 
situation or object exhibiting the required attribute.
5SS5.9 Find examples of edges, 
faces and sides that are parallel, 
intersecting, perpendicular, 
vertical and horizontal in print 
and electronic media such as 
newspapers, magazines and the 
Internet.
5SS5.7 (Continued) Draw 3-D 
objects that have edges and faces 
that are parallel, intersecting, 
perpendicular, vertical or 
horizontal.
Some students may find it helpful to use triangular grid (isometric)
paper to draw 3-D objects.
 Illuminations
(by NCTM) also has an online 
isometric drawing tool for creating 3-D drawings. Students could 
view the video 
3D Drawings; Top/Side/Front Views 
for a walk through 
of how to use isometric paper to draw more complex 3-D objects.
The first six minutes are the most pertinent. After that point, the 
narrator breaks the object into top, front and side views which is 
beyond Grade 5 expectations.
