Shapes Shapes Everywhere

This week we have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes. The D stands for dimensional. 2D shapes are flat and 3D shapes are solid. We found shapes in the playground and around the school. We made 2D shapes on the geoboards and 3D shapes with the connect kit. We had to count the faces, vertices and edges on the shapes we made.

We found cylinders in the playground.

Kiran has made a tetrahedron and a cuboid.

An octagon is used for one of the climbing frames.

Eli is very focused on his 3D shape.

Do you know how many faces, vertices and edges these shapes have? Can you name them?

Sophia has made 2D shapes on the geoboard.
