Making Shapes in 2W
Today, we have been looking at vertices on 3D shapes. Miss W set us a challenge to make some 3D shapes using sticks and either marshmallows, blue tack or play dough. We noticed that where two edges (sticks) met a vertex (marshmallow) was created. .
How are things ‘Shaping’ up Kids?
This week we have been working on shape with both my year 1 and year 2 Maths groups and they have been working very hard. They've been learning new vocabulary for shapes 2D and 3D and year 2s have also been learning about the properties of shape using vocabulary like...

In our maths lesson today, we were counting how many vertices there are on 3D shapes (that's a tricky word for 'corners'). To help us, we used cocktail sticks for long sides, matchsticks for short sides and marshmallows for vertices and we made a range of 3D shapes....
