This document discusses learning about 3D shapes. It will teach the names of shapes like cubes, cuboids, spheres, cones and cylinders. Students will learn how to describe 3D shapes using terms like faces, edges and corners. They will think about examples of these shapes around them and distinguish between 2D and 3D shapes.

2. What are we learning today?
•We will learn the names of 3D shapes.
•We will learn how they are made up.
•We will learn new ways to describe them.
•We will think about how shapes are all around us.
How do you think we can do this?

3. • We will be able to give examples of 3D shapes around us.
• We will be able to describe shapes in detail using the correct
language.
• We will be able to explain how a 3D shape is made up.

4. What is the difference between a 2D shape and
3D shape?
Which 3D shapes can you name?

5. CUBE
Can you think of any objects which are the shape of a cube?

7. CUBOID
Can you think of any objects which are the shape of a cuboid?

9. SPHERE
Can you think of any objects which are shape of a sphere?

11. CONE
Can you think of any objects which are the shape of a cone?

13. CYLINDER
Can you think of any objects which are the shape of a cylinder?

15. SQUARE BASED
PYRAMID

16. TRIANGULAR PRISM

17. How can we describe these shapes?

18. We can use words like…
FACES
EDGES
CORNERS

19. FACES or SIDES
All 3D shapes have faces.

20. EDGES
All 3D shapes have edges apart from a sphere.

21. CORNERS OR VERTICES
All 3D shapes have vertices apart from a
sphere.

22. We can also say what shape the face is.
The face is the
shape of a
square.

23. Using these words, how could we describe a
cube?
It has…
•6 faces that are
square shaped
•12 edges
•8 vertices

24. What have we learnt so far?
