Making shapes from parts
Join familiar shapes and objects to make a larger shape or model.
Independent Pi Leo Academy learning material organised around the Victorian Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0 Level 4 descriptors; independent curriculum review is continuing. Year 4 is not an official NAPLAN testing year; NAPLAN is held in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It is not an official VCAA, ACARA, NAPLAN, government or IXL resource.

Descriptor-derived subskills
- D01Represent and approximate composite three-dimensional objectsLocally derived from VC2M4SP02 clauses C03, C04, C05 and C07 so the descriptor's three-dimensional object demand is distinct from the supplied two-dimensional composition skill; no external reference code is asserted.
