Explore, discuss and compare 3D shapes.

Team CH have been using a collection of 3D shapes, e.g. cylinders, cuboids (including cubes), spheres and pyramids, alongside pictures everyday objects, e.g. tins, boxes, snack tubes. In groups we matched the shapes to the objects we might find at home and talked about why some shapes remind us of everyday objects and how they are different.
We also sorted the shapes into groups following rules, such as, all square faces and non-square faces and all triangle faces and non-triangle faces. We carefully examined the shapes and placed them into groups.
