We have been learning about 3D shapes. Next week we will be showing all we have learned through some assessment pieces.
Below are the concepts all students should know:
-the names of all the basic 3D shapes, and how to name all types of prisms and pyramids using knowledge of 2D shapes
-the difference between prisms and pyramids, and how to tell if a 3D shape is a pyramid or a prism
-parts of a 3D shape(faces, edges, vertices) and how to count them on a shape
-how to identify shapes by given attributes(eg. Name a shape with 6 faces)
-how to compare and contrast different 3D shapes (eg. They are the same because they both have rectangle faces. They are different because they have different 2D shapes on the base)
-how to describe a 3D shape by all its geometric attributes in detail
-how to build a 3D shape out of toothpicks and modelling clay, using knowledge of faces, edges, and vertices
