Investigating 3D shapes

We went on a 3d shape hunt around the school yesterday. We found lots of different shapes!

Today the children made a display to show all they had learned:

Come and take a look at our work on the wall!

Which different shapes can you remember the names of?

Can you tell someone what the words 

- faces

- edges

- vertices

mean?

Exploring 3d shapes

The Wrens have had a busy morning sorting, studying and creating lots and lots of 3d shapes!

Take a look at all their hard work:

Working out what each shape was by the clues we were given took lots of concentration!

What different ways would you sort these shapes?

How many vertices does this shape have?

Take a look at the shapes we created!

Why not tell someone at home all the things you now know about 3d shapes.  Don't forget to use the words faces, edges and vertices!
