Identify and Describe Prisms & Non Prisms - KS2

Use these differentiated resources in a practical 3D shape lesson in lower KS2 on prisms and non prisms. You will need to source the items for the children to investigate:

• balls
• Toblerone boxes
• Smartie boxes
• fruit cans or similar
• matchboxes
• teabags (the ‘pyramid’ (tetrahedron) kind)
• pencils
• ice cream cone wrappers
• toothpaste boxes

There is a template that starts pupils off at the ‘1 chilli’ (i.e. easiest) level and allows them to choose how their level of challenge progresses from there. Ask your TA to trim the activities along the black lines into rectangles and pupils can come up to collect the one they want when ready!
