Year 1 3D shapes

Date: 8th Dec 2022 @ 6:34pm

Today we worked collaboratively to build and assemble a range of 3D shapes. We firstly looked for examples of 3D shapes within the classroom and identified the number of faces, edges and vertices of each shape. We then used this knowledge to create a range of 3D shapes out of different materials.

‘A cube has 6 faces’ ‘It has 12 edges and 8 vertices’

‘A cuboid has 6 faces – four rectangles and 2 squares’ ‘It has 8 vertices and 12 edges’

‘A pyramid has 5 faces – 4 triangles and 1 square’ ‘It has 5 vertices and 8 edges’
