This week in Maths we will complete our unit on work on 3D shapes. By the end of the week all children should be able to say what is the difference between 2D and 3D shapes and name common shapes (cube, cuboid, sphere, pyramid and cylinder). Most children will be able to make 3D shapes from nets and skeleton shapes with sticks and play dough. Some children will be able to make prisms and find 3D shapes in the world around us.
