1. A PowerPoint designed to prompt pupils to fully understand 3D shapes. 2. A worksheet allowing pupils to investigate Euler's Formula. Questions within the worksheet are well differentiated to allow pupils to maximise their progress. Pupils will also investigate Platonic shapes. 3. Pupils will gain a full understanding of Prisms and Pyramids. 4. Pupils will gain knowledge on Polyhedrons and Non-Polyhedrons. Pupils will be able to explain why a Cylinder is not a Prism. 5. All misconceptions are addressed in this lesson.

Worksheet for pupils to recognise the properties of 3D shapes, includes: -faces -verticies -edges

An entertaining and educational PowerPoint that consolidates the concept of faces, edges and vertices on 3-D shapes by means of quiz-style questions. After this the pupils are shown how to sketch polyhedra. A worksheet accompanies this section. Suitable for upper KS2 and lower KS3.

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

This resource contains 6 different 3D Shape pages for students to match different regular objects to the matching shapes. Shapes included are: ♦ Cone ♦ Cube ♦ Cylinder ♦ Pyramid ♦ Sphere ♦ Triangular Prism Some shapes come with 9 shape images to match, others come with fewer - ranging between 6-9. You can either use this as a re-usable activity where you laminate it all and use velcro or it can be used as a worksheet for students to cut and stick. ★ Comes in b/w and col option. ★ A great way to see if students are able to relate different objects to the community helper. Appropriate for American and British/Canadian etc. classrooms.

I put in these in my workshop area for children to create their own 3D shapes.

90 Flash Cards for 3D shapes, covering recognising the mathematical names of shapes as well as counting the number of faces, vertices and edges on given shapes. Includes standard 3D shapes such as cuboids and cylinders, as well as more advanced shapes to stretch more able students, such as a regular pentagonal prism and a conical frustum. Includes solid filled shapes and wire frame shapes. Printable pack includes files made for single-sided and double-sided printers. This is available as part of our flash card bundle, available here.

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.
