Year 2-3 3D Shape Properties Table (Differentiated)

This is a class sheet to complement a hands-on investigation in to the qualities of 3D shapes. You will need to have the class split in to 2-3 differentiated groups, working at 2-3 work stations, each with a set of 3D shapes. The children then use the shapes to complete the table to discern the following information: how many curved sides it has; how many straight sides it has; how many vertices it has. The differentiated sheets also cover whether: the shape can be rolled; the shape can be stacked.
This information could be used in the plenary: children could describe the shape using the information they've gathered and the class/their partner have to guess the shape using that information....Just a thought :-)
