Section Topic Teaching Notes Classwork or Homework

3.1 3-dimensional Figures Construction - Students should be able to use the techniques learnt in Design and
Technology to construct figures of
(a) orthographic projection () in First Angle Projection ( Ex.3A Q.1-2
) including front view (), side view (), and top
view () on a quad paper (),
(b) 3-dimensional figures on a isometric graph / grid paper ( Ex.3A Q.3-4
)
*(c) oblique projection () on a oblique graph paper (
).
3.2 Properties between Lines and Planes - Students should be able to label the projection () of points and lines on Ex.3B Q.1
of a Solid a plane.
- Students should be able to identify lines which is normal () to a plane. Ex.3B Q.2
- Students should be able to identify the angle between a line and a plane. Ex.3B Q.3
- Students should be able to identify the angle between 2 planes. Ex.3B Q.8
3.3 Symmetric Properties of Solid - Students should be able to identify the reflectional symmetric property ( Ex.3C Q.1-2
) of a solid and label the plane of reflection ().
- Students should be able to label the 9 planes of reflection of a cube. Appendix
- Students should be able to label the 6 planes of reflection of a tetrahedron. Appendix
- Students should be able to identify the rotational symmetric property ( Ex.3C Q.1-2
) of a solid and label the axis of rotation () as well as the
degree of rotational symmetric ().
- Students should be able to label the 13 axes of rotation of a cube. Appendix
- Students should be able to label the 7 axes of rotation of a tetrahedron. Appendix

3.4 Folding paper - Students should be able to choose the correct folding paper for the required Ex.3C Q.3-4
solid.
- Students should be able to identify and name the solid formed from a given Ex.3C Q.8, 12
folding paper.

Note: 1. In Technical Drawing, there are First Angle Projection and Third Angle Projection Drawing.
First Angle Projection Drawing is used in China and Britain.

2. In the Second Edition, oblique projection has been deleted.

3. Names of some common solids:

Platonic solids pyramid prism

tetrahedron pyramid with square base cylinder

cube cone cuboid

octahedron
dodecahedron

icosahedron
Appendix:
1. 9 reflectional symmetric planes of cube

2. 6 reflectional symmetric planes of tetrahedron

3. 13 axes of rotation of cube
4. 7 axes of rotation of tetrahedron
