This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore how to identify, match and record the properties of a range of different 3D geometric shapes to illustrate what makes them special and unique.

The class can record where they can see examples of the labelled 3D shapes in different buildings and products to match the numbers of faces, edges and vertices.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore how to identify, match and record the properties of a range of different 3D geometric shapes to illustrate what makes them special and unique

Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated cards to record and match the numbers of faces, edges and vertices that can be labelled on a range of 3D shapes to indicate the unique and special properties of each of the selected shapes.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to identify, match and record the properties of a range of different 3D geometric shapes.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and record how to label models and illustrations of some different 3D shapes to indicate their special properties. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
