This is a worksheet/investigation/activity that can be used to decipher the nets of 3d shapes. I'm sorry but the extension won&'t come out on this document, but all you need to do is draw spots on the nets and draw corresponding spots on the correct side of the cube. The base square also needs colouring.

A set of seven files covering volumes of 3D shapes Volumes of cubes and cuboids Volume of a prism Volume of a triangular prism Volumes of a cylinder More volumes of prisms Volumes of pyramids and cones Volume of a sphere The files could be used for practice examples during whole class lessons, revision, help for parents or for pupils needing to catch up with missed work.

2 shape investigations looking at whether shapes roll or stack to help explore their properties.

Worksheet in which children have to decide which shape will be made when the nets are constructed.

Worksheet: Describe properties of 3D Shapes Ideally, you will need a few 3D shapes for the children to look at, feel and describe. Answers provided.

3 differentiated worksheets: lower middle and higher ability 1 x colour in sheet

This activity includes 10 monster themed 3D shape nets for student to put together and assemble. They range in difficulty and include the following shapes. cube triangular prism cone cylinder rectangular prism rhombic prism tetrahedron pyramid pentagonal pyramid pentagonal prism

Display common 3D shapes in a colourful way with these simple posters. Features 7 x A4 posters A great display to refer to in your classroom, either on the wall, on a display board, displayed on the IWB for discussion/reminders or shrunk to make reference cards on each table! Matching 2D shapes are available.

Great for children to practise or to complete independently for assessment. I used these for teaching the properties of the shapes, then later on, each child completed the activity and I took a picture and saved it to their area as evidence for the interim framework. Very simple! These cards are now in the classroom for children to revisit anytime they finish their work. It is good for keeping the knowledge fresh.

A collection of 13 printable nets of 3D shapes. Each net is on it's own page to make photocopying easier.

Worksheet for pupils to recognise the properties of 3D shapes, includes: -faces -verticies -edges

Helps children recognise names and pictures, counting the shapes and writing the names,finding shapes by read the names, matching properties to the shapes, show understanding of the difference between 2d and 3d shapes. 5 worksheets to help write, recognise and draw 3d shapes 10 worksheets in total HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME Feel free to ask any questions or let me know of any problems regarding my resources by emailing me directly, especially if you have any requests or ideas I can create: MissGsteacherthings@gmail.com
