3D Shape investigations

| 0 comments

This week, we have been working on our knowledge of 3D shapes.  We were given art straws and Plasticine and had to make bundles containing a specific amount of each material.

We then had 5 shapes to make.  First, we had to decide  which bundle of materials would be needed for each shape.  For example we investigated that we needed 6 art straws and 4 balls of Plasticine to make a triangular based pyramid and 8 straws with 5 bits of Plasticine to make a square based pyramid.

Team work was crucial, as was planning which bundle of materials we would require to build each shape.  It made us question how many sides, faces and corners were in each shape.

We also wrote definitions of shape words like vertices, circumference and diagonals.
