Drawing a cube

Step one Draw a square on your piece of paper and make sure it has four equal sides. Use a ruler to draw your square and check the sides are all equal length. 4 or 5 cm is a good size.

Step two Draw another square that crosses over the original one as shown in the picture below. Your second square must be the same size as your first.

Step three As shown using the orange lines, join each of the corners together. You have a 3 D cube! Now you’ve had a go, practice again. Try to improve from your first attempt.

Drawing a cuboid

Step one Draw a horizontal rectangle on your piece of paper. Use a ruler and measure your sides so you can be sure you are drawing is exact. 8 cm by 5 cm is a good size.

Step two Draw another rectangle on top but slightly to the left. Remember to draw using the exact same dimensions as your first rectangle. Rectangle 1 Rectangle 2

Step three As shown with the orange lines, join each of the corners together to make your cuboid! Now try again- this time changing the size of your rectangle.

Drawing a pyramid

Step one You will need to begin by drawing a diamond placed on its side – it does not matter if this is even but please use a ruler.

Step two Place a centre point inside your diamond and draw straight up with a ruler – do not make it too high.

Step one Next, you need to join the left point of your diamond to the top of your line that you just did. This also needs to be done with the right point.

Step four Finally, you need to join the bottom of your straight line to the lowest point of the shape. The orange line shows where this needs to be done.
