Properties of 3d shapes Year 1 and 2

Year 2 Maths Shape and Space

A powerpoint showing how to make 3d shapes using the faces of 2d shapes. There a vast array of resources including tables to identify properties of shapes to making a net of regular 3d shapes. Be creative and see if you can make a cube net using some of these resources;
spaghetti and marsh mellows or straws and blu tac ,or using construction toys
Children in year 1 should identify how many 2d shape faces they can find on a 3d shape. They should locate shapes in the environment and label them.
In year 2 children will be identifying properties of 3d shapes such as vertices, edges, right faces, number of 2d shapes needed for a net etc. They should also compare one 3d shape with another one and discuss what is same and different.
