Class 3 Math: Shapes and Designs Quick Revision Chapter Summary
Need to review the entire chapter before a test? This quick revision guide summarizes all the core concepts, topics, and equations taught in Class 3 Shapes and Designs to help you refresh your memory instantly.
Core Topics At a Glance
### š 2D Shapes: edges and corners 2D shapes have edges (straight boundary segments) and corners or vertices (points where two edges meet).
### š Tangrams (5-piece & 7-piece) A tangram is a Chinese geometric puzzle consisting of a square cut into 5 or 7 pieces (tans) that can be arranged to form various shapes.
### š Weaving patterns and tiling Weaving patterns and tiling (tessellations) are repeating arrangements of geometric shapes that cover a floor or grid surface with no gaps.
### š 3D shapes basic properties Solid 3D shapes have three dimensions: length, width, and height. They are made up of faces (flat surfaces), edges (where two faces meet), and vertices (corners). Examples include cubes, cylinders, cones, and spheres.
Key Formulas Mind Map
- Euler Flat Edge count: `C = E` - In simple 2D polygons, the count of corners (vertices) matches the edges....
