3d Shapes

In Room 3 tamariki are learning to classify 3D shapes. We have learned that a 3d Shape is SOLID and a 2d Shape is FLAT.

The tamariki played 3d Shape Salad today. Then they had a special 3d shape Scavenger Hunt. They got into Tuakana-Teina groups. They searched for their 3d shapes.

They were so clever to find lots of 3d Shape around our class! Lastly, they labelled their work!

What did the children have to say?

What is a 3D shape?
"A tennis ball."
"..A big shape",
"No, it's a solid shape!"

Can you think of an example?

"A cube."
"A cuboid."
"A sphere."

"A flat shape."
"Um.. .it's something that's flat like a pancake."
" A skinny piece of paper."
