2D and 3D shapes

Welcome back to term 2!

I hope you all had a relaxing break.

I math we have started the term off by revisiting 2D shapes and learning about 3D shapes. We have identified the names of 2D and 3D shapes, and the properties of 3D shapes.

Before the break we looked at 4 different pieces of art and wrote down the different shapes, angles and lines we could see in the art.

We have explored the 2D and 3D shapes we have in the classroom. Students have created their own pictures, made patterns and looked at how joining shapes together can make a new shape. 

We made 'clue bags' for 3D shapes. The students listed clues about a shape on the front of the bag and the rest of the class were able to guess the 3D shape.

We made 'What does the SHAPE say' sheets. Students chose four 2D or 3D shapes and listed the attributes of each shape. 

We completed Mathletics activities on shape.

In math we will now begin to inquiry into telling time and continue our exploration of number facts.
