Topic: 2D and 3D Shapes
Introduction
This week we will look at shapes again, but this time we will learn the difference between flat (2D) shapes and solid (3D) shapes.
Tasks
Go on a shape hunt to find 2D and 3D shapes. Build models with 3D shapes and talk about their properties.
📊 2D and 3D Shapes
2D shapes are flat, like a drawing on paper. 3D shapes are solid and you can hold them.
- 2D Shapes: Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle
- 3D Shapes: Sphere (ball), Cube (dice), Cuboid (box), Cylinder (can)
📝 Practice Exercises
- Is a piece of paper 2D or 3D? (2D)
- Is a ball a sphere or a circle? (Sphere)
- Find a cube in the room (e.g., a dice, a block).
- What 3D shape is a can of soup? (Cylinder)
- Build a tower using different 3D blocks.
A cube has square faces. A cuboid can have square and rectangle faces.
A sphere is perfectly round like a ball.
Talk about whether shapes can roll or stack.
