Exploring 3D Shapes Around Us
Year 1 Mathematics Learning about shapes in our world
What Are 3D Shapes?
3D shapes are not flat We can hold them in our hands They have height, width, and depth They are all around us every day
Parts of 3D Shapes
Faces - the flat surfaces Edges - where two faces meet Vertices - the pointy corners Let's count them together!
Shape Hunt Activity
Look around our classroom Find objects that are cubes, spheres, cylinders, or cones Work with a partner Share what you find!
Sorting Our Shapes
{"left":"Shapes with flat faces only\nShapes with curved surfaces\nCubes have square faces","right":"Spheres are completely round\nCylinders have circles and rectangles\nCones have circles and triangles"}
Quick Quiz Time!
What shape is a football? How many faces does a cube have? What shape is a tin can? Can you name a cone-shaped object?
What We've Learned Today
3D shapes are all around us Cube, sphere, cylinder, cone are common shapes Shapes have faces, edges, and vertices We can sort shapes by their features
