3D-shapes
27 Nov 2014

This week we’ve been learning about 3D-shapes

We had a look at:

• How many faces are there?

• Are the faces curved or flat?

• What shape is each face?

• How many vertices (corners) does it have?

• How many edges (where two faces meet) does it have?

Eg: A Cube has 6 square-shaped flat faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges
 
We also had a look at the way we can use 3D shapes in real life. We asked and investigated if shapes can roll, slide or if they can be stacked on top of each other.    

We learned about 3D shapes in a fun way.
 
Here are some games the children can play to see how much they can remember about 3D-shapes

Have a look around the house and see how many 3D shapes you can find . Can these 3D shapes be stacked on top each other. Which 3D shapes are difficult to stack? Which 3 D shapes can roll? Can all 3D shapes slide?
