s er ap eP m e tr .X w w w om .c Scheme of work – Cambridge IGCSE® Mathematics (US) 0444 Unit 6: Geometrical measurement (Extended) Recommended prior knowledge All of Core and particularly Core 6. Only those parts of the learning objectives or notes and exemplars not included in the core units are itemised, so this unit should be read alongside the Core document. Context There are five Core geometry units and this is the third of five Extension geometry units. Once the Core 6 and the other prior experience for Core 6 is completed this unit can be slotted in at any point. It is probably best taught as a whole but used to revise some of the Core 6. It may be useful to have 3 dimensional models both solid and skeleton framed to support the learning. Outline The unit extends the knowledge of Core 6 so be aware that examination questions that relate to aspects of Core 6 may have a greater degree of challenge as they combine with other areas of mathematics. This unit covers surface area and volume of pyramids and cones, areas and volumes of compound shapes.

Making skeleton solids can help (Straws joined on vertices with inch long bent sections of pipe cleaner is a cheap way of avoiding the cost of commercial sets) www.algebralab.org/lessons/lesson.aspx?f ile=geometry_3dpyramidcone.xml Past Paper 23 June 2011 Q21 (syllabus 0580) Past Paper 42 June 2011 Q7 (syllabus 0580) This can be linked to questions that use pythagorus and trigonometry to find v1 2Y01 Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (US) 0444 1 Syllabus ref Learning objectives Suggested teaching activities Learning resources the dimensions needed to solve a problem.

This can also mean realising that a truncated solid is the whole solid minus the top of the solid to leave the truncated portion. Teaching activities Trying suggesting some shapes made from combinations of solids and ask students to draw a 2D representation with the measurements required to find the volume and surface area clearly identified – not as easier as it sounds. v1 2Y01 Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (US) 0444 2
