In maths we were learning about 3D shapes. We were learning the vocabulary of shape- faces, edges and vertices.
We constructed our 3D shapes using cocktail sticks and marshmallows and this was a super resource for counting edges and vertices but not so clear for counting faces. We therefore printed out the nets of our 3D shapes. This allowed us to visualise clearly the faces that make up each of the 3D shapes. We counted the faces that make up each 3D shape. We finished the lesson by visualising our 3D shapes as a thing or a being and had great fun making the net into our things/beings.
