We have been getting to know our 3d shapes by manipulating them, identifying them in our environment, sorting them, building with them, and even eating them!
As a class we have practised building pyramids, cubes, cones, spheres, cuboids and cylinders. We have been making them out of blocks, playdough crackers, and tooth picks and marshmallows. The toothpicks and marshmallows was the preferred material and many of them were able to build far more than just a cube or a triangular prism. We spent a lot of time talking about and describing the different shapes – what they look like, are they wide, tall, round, pointed and counting the faces.
