Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet for core and extension ability levels to make and label models of different 3D shapes to show how they are different in terms of their faces and edges and a set of cards for support ability levels to identify and model the number of edges that can be found on different 3D shapes.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record the number of edges that can be found on a range of different 3D shapes.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and compare a range of different 3D shapes by their matching properties including their number of faces, edges and vertices. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
