Overview:

Students complete a table by naming 3D shapes and listing their features, including the number of faces, edges, and corners. Designed for early to middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

Identify and name various 3D shapes.
Understand and record the properties of 3D shapes, including faces, edges, and corners.
Develop organisational skills by completing a table with shape features.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a table to fill in, where they will identify different 3D shapes. For each shape, they will name it and list the number of faces, edges, and corners. This activity helps students develop a deeper understanding of 3D shapes and their characteristics while reinforcing classification and observation skills.
