3D Shapes
5th and 6th class have been busy learning all about 3D shapes this week in Maths. But what is a 3D shape?
3D shapes have faces (sides), edges and vertices (corners). A net is what a 3D shape would look like if it were opened out flat.

3D Shape Creations
We used tooth picks, marshmallows and jellies to make our 3D shapes. This was a yummy activity as we were allowed to eat the left over sweets at lunch time! Can you name any of our super creations below:
Can you count how many faces are on each shape?
Did you know that another name for a triangular based pyramid is a tetrahedron?
