Intersecting a 3D shape and a plane might seem intimidating, but a few bottles, a box cutter, and some creativity can give us some insight into what it can look like.
Students investigate properties of perimeter, area, and volume related to various geometric two- and three-dimensions shapes.
Comparing the wrapped presents in this activity will give children the chance to explore and discuss weight, including the idea that large objects aren’t necessarily the heaviest.
When investigating these tubes, children will have the opportunity to practise using everyday language to talk about length, size and position.
In this task, children put their hands into a bag and describe what shape they think they can feel and why.
In this task, children will explore 3D shapes when selecting which shapes to use in their tower.
In this activity, children will develop an awareness of the faces of 3D shapes by using them to make ‘footprints’ in soft dough.
