3D Shape Maths Activity for Reception - Construct with blocks & count 3D shapes

There are 15 construction cards included in this set and children will love the challenge of building the various items: towers, bridges, robot, car, train, rocket etc. After making each item, the student will count how many of each 3D shape they used and write the number. Then they can add the total to find out ‘how many blocks they used altogether’ to build their item.

This would make an ideal Maths activity station for a Reception class. There are varying levels of difficulty. This is an excellent task to develop:

• Fine-motor skills
• Problem solving and reasoning skills
• Hand-eye co-ordination
• Language development
• Mathematical understanding: geometry (3D shape), counting, addition, etc.
• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths)

Print the 8 pages in colour. Cut into individual cards (you may prefer to laminate first).

NOW AVAILABLE IN 2 FORMATS – A4 SIZE and US LETTER SIZE (8.5” x11”). PDF’s in both sizes are included when you purchase this product.
