1) Your exam this year is based on the theme Collecting money for a charity and we have chatted a lot about this in class. You must go into the exam ready to design ways of doing this. It is likely that you will need to sketch in 3D (like an isometric drawing) and also you should be able to design the nets for each of your shapes. I would advise that you have between 2-5 designs and you know the nets for each of these. The first part of your revision programme is to come up with 5 initial 3D ideas for collecting money for a charity and then trying to draw the nets for each design. Try to incorporate a method for the user to see their money drop into the container. Try to make each design a different shape. Draw 5 of your best ideas below with annotation- use more paper if you need to.
