3d Shapes

Our maths focus this week has been on 3d shapes. We have discussed what faces, edges and vertices are and have been introduced to some new shape names such as:

Hexagonal Prism

Square based pyramid

Pentagonal Prism

Part of the Year 3 maths curriculum is that children can create 3d models so today we looked at nets and they had to cut, glue and make the shapes. It was a really fun and interesting lesson and the children all challenged themselves with harder shapes.

Next week we'll be making them out of other materials...
