Has a quick recap on 2D shapes and then goes onto 3D shapes where point out the main features of certain 3D shapes. The shape hunt we went on in reception. It was a little advanced for them but we will come back to it after Xmas. The shape powerpoint was used in conjunction with making fireworks - cylincers, cuboids and pyramids on the end. Hope you like. Nick

Worksheet on 3D shapes: naming 3d shapes and listing their properties (faces, edges, vertices). Good for starter activity.

This fun, hands-on Christmas craft pack ticks a lot of boxes. Your students will love making seven Christmas crafts, which could be turned into ornaments, and there’s an option to cover geometry maths skills at the same time. The seven crafts include a Christmas tree (cone), present (cube), bauble (sphere), milk and biscuits (cylinders), Santa hat (pyramid), and gingerbread house (rectangular prism and triangular prism). To turn the crafts into ornaments add string or ribbon, or use the paper handles included on each page. To integrate this activity with maths, use the properties of 3D shapes for younger students, and the nets with measurements and recording sheets for finding the surface area of the nets. The net measurements are based on the actual sizes rounded to the nearest inch or cm and range in size from 2-6 inches/4-8cm. What’s included? U.K and U.S versions (spelling, letter and A4) Christmas tree Present Bauble Milk and biscuits Santa hat Gingerbread house Example photo page Properties of 3D shapes worksheet and answer key Nets with measurements in inches and cm Recording sheets for finding the surface area of the rectangular prism, triangular prism, cube, and pyramid 3D crafts can be challenging so please consider if your students have the fine motor skills needed before purchasing. I hope your students enjoy making these Christmas crafts.

A presentation to help support the teaching of properties of 3D shapes with objectives and student tasks.

This quiz covers a few key bits of 3D shapes including nets, volumes, naming 3D shapes and cuboids, I also chucked in a random area of triangle questions as well. As pupils give correct answers click the square to remove it as they move down the tack.

3D Shape Poster Pack - just print and use! 14 colorful posters and 14 black and white. Shapes Included: sphere cube semisphere cylinder cuboid cone triangular prism pentagonal prism octagonal prism hexagonal prism square based pyramid pentagonal pyramid hexagonal pyramid triangular pyramid

Worksheet: Describe properties of 3D Shapes Ideally, you will need a few 3D shapes for the children to look at, feel and describe. Answers provided.

2D & 3D Shape Matching These documents when put together make two different resources. They make matching boards for 2D and 3D shapes. These include matching the picture of the shape, and then name. I work in a special needs school for pupils with ASD, with pupils ranging from P4-1C in my class. These matching activities allowed the pupils to physically match the shape to increase shape recognition. The cover image shows an example as to how the resources look when completed and laminated. You will have to laminate, cut out and use velcro to complete the resource.

A simple shape sorting exercise where pupils will cut and stick the shapes into the correct spot. Pupils will sort using the venn diagram provided.

These mats can be laminated or put into SmartPals for children to complete. In my P1 class, the children used cocktail sticks and playdough to create the shape then wrote the shape in whiteboard pen. They loved this hands-on activity to explore properties of 3D shapes! Includes cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, cone and pyramid.

Match the object to the 3D shape. Designed specifically for young learners, this resource is perfect for helping students identify and understand different 3D shapes by connecting them to familiar real-life objects.

3d shape powerpoint - Using the correct 3D shape names, vocabulary and describing them can be tricky for students (and even adults who have forgotten such things!).

Edited (7/3/24). 3d shape powerpoint includes; Shapes included - sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, rectangular prism, square-based pyramid, triangular pyramid, triangular prism, hemisphere, hexagonal prism, hexagonal pyramid, octagonal prism, octagonal pyramid, pentagonal prism Vocabulary explained - vertex, vertices, edge, face, prism Activities - guessing game, drawing shapes and shape hunts Partner discussion slides Checking for understanding slides Extension idea slides 3x Success criteria and learning outcomes provided When you use the lesson in slide show mode and press the space key or mouse button, some answers (words or pictures) will appear. You may wish to go through this first but it is very easy to just use! Suitable for grades one and two but could be used for pre-primary if they are ready for extension and learning 3d shape names, or grade three students as a revision and daily warm-up to more complex geometrical lessons! A great lesson to use for your own class (in school), as a homeschooler or leave for a relief teacher. Enjoy!
