In Maths we have be looking at 2d and 3D shape.  Here are some ideas to try at home:

Robot challenge Ask children to draw a picture of a robot using at least 3 different 2D shapes.  Ask children to name some of the shapes they used.

3D objects at home Ask children to write down five real-life examples of different 3D objects in their home and, if they can, to give the mathematical name of the 3D object, e.g. toilet roll is a cylinder.

Rectangles on 3D objects Ask children to make drawings of 3D objects in the home that have at least one rectangular face, for example, door, TV, picture frame
